Lynn Lange

Lynn Lange is a lifelong K–12 educator whose 40-year career spanned multiple school districts—and just about every school duty imaginable (yes, including the infamous lunchroom patrol). Armed with a degree in music education and endorsements in middle school and special education, Lynn brought heart, humor, and harmony to every classroom she entered.

Though she’s officially “retired” (a word she uses loosely), Lynn hasn’t missed a beat. She continues to inspire the next generation of musicians through her private music studio and remains active as a band adjudicator, clinician, and mentor. Her expertise has earned her numerous awards, though she’s most proud of being the teacher students never forget—and always adore. 

She may not be on hall duty anymore, but Lynn’s impact still echoes through every note, every lesson, and every life she touches.

Mom

Mom—better known as Nana to most—holds a special place in the heart of host Lisa Hill and everyone who knows her. A spirited nonagenarian (she's in her 90s), Nana is the proud mother of three and grandmother of six. She grew up as a small-town farm girl, but don’t let that fool you—she’s a woman of depth, wisdom, and charm. Her family affectionately compares her to a fine wine: rich in character, effortlessly elegant, and infused with just the right amount of spice. Whether she’s sharing a well-timed quip, a glass of wine, or a life lesson wrapped in love and humor, one thing is certain—everyone adores Nana!
