Podolski didn't have many friends at the time, he said, and the educator mentioned he might be a good fit in the band. He accepted the recommendation and quickly learned an instrument.

A parent nominated Podolski for the 2026 Grammy Music Educator Award for those efforts, and he learned last week he's a finalist…...
