Music Teacher & Band Director Hats

Music teachers and band directors run on their own set of shared experiences. The recorder unit starts with Hot Cross Buns, a tune that shares its melody with Three Blind Mice and that BuzzFeed says would haunt you for the entirety of elementary school. At one elementary school, third graders earn colored karate belts for recorder mastery, which is the idea behind RECORDER KARATE SENSEI. Band directors fund the program with chili suppers full of bad jokes, and one middle school director took 68 pies to the face and played the concert on the roof. Teacher gift guides already list Concert Tomorrow and It's a Good Day to Make Music on T-shirts, and a skeleton conductor hat sells I'll Wait Until It's Quiet, so those phrases are here, and the last two earn a second colorway. The same guide calls treble makers a worn-out cliche, so there are none. These hats are for the educator, the person grading the recorder test, not the student or the parent. That makes the collection distinct from Band Geek Hats, Marching Band Parent Hats and Church Choir Hats, and none of those collections' lines are repeated. Three plain badges, MUSIC TEACHER, BAND DIRECTOR and CHOIR DIRECTOR, anchor the searches. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Choose one for the teacher's own podium, or give it for teacher appreciation week, the winter concert or the end of the year.
