Interview with Mr. Zidlicky
by Cassie Brand
Colin Zidlicky started his first year teaching right here in Mount Ayr Community High School. Mr. Zidlicky is the new middle school and high school band and choir teacher.He's fresh out of Simpson College, having graduated from Decorah High School before. He's only been in Mount Ayr for a matter of months, moving here in May of 2016. When asked about his most embarrassing moment while teaching, he replied with "I don't really know, have I done something really embarrassing yet?" then asking to come back to the question later. When he came up with his answer, he said, "When I queued the band to start the 'Star Spangled Banner' and nobody started playing." He feels that the best part of his job is "When parents or students come up and tell me they they've learned." When asked to give advice to students, he gave
our marching band motto, "Good better best, never let it rest until your good is better, and your better is best."
