Josh, you klnow at least one. I am a college band director (and former High School Band Director) who did not major in Music Education. Trust me, even though it may be possible to find alternate routes to certification, I don't recommend them. I have had to do a lot of explaining and hoop jumping to be professionally viable.

Point is, Music Ed is not the only route to becoming a band director, but it is by far the easiest and best.
