Dornell is a TREASURE. Losing him is nothing short of a CRUSHING BLOW to our entire Music Dept. Not only is he a consummate musician (can we all say "Stevie Wonder!"), but his attention to the kids is unparalleled. Not only will he meet with kids before school, during lunch, or after school, but there has been many a night when my kid emailed or called him to ask about rehearsals or for help with her compositions. Accompanists excel in a field that few people understand. He is not just a piano player. An accompanist must literally "join" with the artist they are supporting. I know, because my daughter has been a violinist all of her life at the Colburn School. An accompanist must watch and listen to their artist, adjust their tempo, sometimes even feed the artist the next few notes if they stumble. Accompanists have such an amazing skill set that they have their own union! My daughter is now in the Opera Dept. The time and effort Dornell puts into everything musical (which includes dance and theater) at our school is unprecedented. My other daughter is a dancer. Every REAL dance studio has a live accompanist. It is essential. If we lose Dornell, we lose the lynchpin that holds our music dept together. It is not only a travesty but an insult to a man who has given every bit of his soul to this school. He deserves not only his job back, but AN APOLOGY FROM ADMINISTRATION. Nothing less than that is acceptable.

One of the most amazing, down-to-earth, helpful, and talented teacher's I've ever had. He's taught me so much and would be terrible if he left. Future students would be deprived of his great teaching abilities.

Dornell is an integral part of the LACHSA community. Why anyone would want to get rid of a supportive, caring, extremely talented mentor for the students, I don't know. Getting rid of Dornell would only show that LACHSA does not care about any sort of support network for its students. I'd rather not want to believe that I graduated from such an apathetic institution...

Keep Dornell. If the students say they need him, believe that. Administration: Trust your students. I understand about making cuts, but some people you just have to keep and work out the red ink on the balance sheet later.
