The music department here in the Purchase Line School District plays a vital role in the education, self-esteem, and overall well being of our children. We as a community need to stand together where it matters! The students here at Purchase Line who participate in festivals, county activities, marching band, etc. are very well respected. Mr. Pearce may be retiring, but that doen'st mean that his legacy has to end. Our elected school officials need to know that we value all that our children get from an education at PL. There are children who don't feel they fit in anywhere other than the music department. We can not let them take their safe haven away. Please show your support for what all music can give our kids!
I never thought we would see this kind of momentum when I first started typing this out in my kitchen (it was honestly just a desperate attempt to keep the lights on for our kids). The fact that so many of you feel the same way about the music program is overwhelming because it really proves this isn't just about band practice but about keeping a home for the students who need it most.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS. Schools are nothing without the arts. Stop cutting funding to the things that actually matter for us students.

The band room is the only place some of these kids feel normal. You guys are making a huge mistake if you cut this.
