In 37 years of teaching band, Bill Webb says he never heard a student play a sour note. Webb knows that sounds like a fib, but it's a sincere sentiment that speaks to the longtime Edina teacher's infectious positivity and the faith he had in his students. In Webb's classroom, a wrong note wasn't so much a mistake as it was an opportunity for learning and encouragement. "I didn't see what students were not capable of doing," he said. "I saw where they were and what their vision was, and I focused on that.
