Affecting our current Juniors and Seniors, this act of disrupting the verbal contract made by administration to the students. Although there is no tangible document to portray the contract, any of not all juniors and seniors have a clear recollection of the conversation with their counselor. The conversation included a compromise in which students agreed to taking four years to account for two years of physical educational credit. This agreement was in effect for about a year and a half when the school canceled this agreement and mandated students to take a physical education class after school twice a week. Many of us have to attend tutoring to better our grade for our AP courses which we didn't even sign up for. But we are held by our physical educational class.
I am honestly a bit overwhelmed by the momentum this has gained lately. This movement belongs entirely to the students who took the time to speak up and push back for what we were promised. Thank you for showing me that we can hold people accountable when we stick together.

Omg this is so not fair! Students shouldn't have to take pe classes just because the school changed their policy recently. These students were informed that Marching Band would count as 2 years of p.e. This is ridiculous! -.-

i think it should count as physical education since they do make you excersize and warm up and do all sorts of stuff you would do in a normal physical class

Marching band is a rigorous activity from rehearsals on the football fields, performances at the Eddie Westfield stadium, and competitions in distant venues. Sacrificing homework time on week nights for rehearsals, and very often weekends for competitions, and countless hours of music practice several students do not have the time to take another P.E. class. Marching band definitely meets requirements for being a physical education class and also instills more values in students over any regular P.E. class.
