Fellow band alumni, and anyone who cares, we need your help if you can. The lights on the practice field are out! Our kids,are practicing in the dark, or the lights of our cars and the atv. My son tripped last week over a flag because of the lack of light, WITH his bass drum on! There have been orders to get them fixed, even a donation a few years back of lights AND labor but the ksd denied the donation. Our band is awesome, small, but awesome and they need the lights to help them get even more awesome and stay safe! Please sign the petition to get the school district to fix the lights!!! The picture is the ATV with its lights on to help the kids see while picking up.
Kennewick School District has this on their website as their mission and goals...
http://www.ksd.org/District/About/Strategic-Goals
To provide a safe environment in which every student reaches his or her highest potential and graduates well prepared for success in post-secondary education, work and life.
Our first priority is the safety of Kennewick School District students and staff.
Ninety percent of students report that they feel safe at school on our annual student safety survey.Annually, reportable injuries by staff are held to fewer than forty, and accepted claims are held to fewer than forty-five.Our kids do not feel safe with these lights out. So the KSD mission and goals are not in play here, and our kids need tofeel safe and secure. These lights have been out the whole 2014 marching season, and previous seasons as well.

I really did not think this would take off like it has when I first typed it out on my phone sitting in the dark by the field. Seeing everyone rally for the band is honestly just wild and it makes me feel like maybe someone at the district office will actually start listening now that they see how many people care about the kids not tripping over their instruments.

As an alumna of this band, I find it incredibly ridiculous that the KSD has done nothing about this issue yet, despite the donation of supplies and manpower. This is a regular activity, so there is no reason to delay the repairs. It's not at all like this band sprung up over night.
KeHS students want to better their skills, and we need to provide a safe place for them to do so. Lights are a must for evening practices.
Fix the LIGHTS!!! It'
This is pathetic you need to get some dang lights for these kids!they are doing so thing productive not out causing trouble. Help them out
this should never have had to go this far!
Fix them now before another student gets hurt!
Please fix this!!

This is a joke and the district needs to get this fixed. Its not cool having our son trip with his drum on because he cant see. Luckily he has a drum, I could only imagine what could happen if a wood wind player tripped and has there instruments jammed into there mouth knocking out a good portion of there teeth!!!
