See Thunder Soul And The Kashmere Alumni Stage Band At Unity Of Houston Thursday Night
![]()
In its roughly ten years of experience, the Kashmere High School Stage Band traveled and competed across the nation and the globe. Under the tutelage of director Conrad O. "Prof" Johnson, the band won 42 of the 46 local, regional and national competitions in which it participated.
Last year, Mark Landsman filmed the story of 30 former KSB members who reunited to perform in Prof's honor in 2008. The end result is Thunder Soul. The documentary is more than just the inspirational story of one teacher's influence on his students, it's also a commentary on the importance of art in the schools.The Kashmere Stage Band's success in the 1970s was mirrored in Kashmere High's other extracurricular activities and academics. This wasn't a coincidence.
Tomorrow night, Unity of Houston will host "An Evening of Jazz, Rhythm & Soul Honoring Conrad 'Prof' Johnson." Art Attack also got in touch with Craig Baldwin, the KSB alum who put the reunion together, to ask him a few questions.
