My son is in the band, and he's excelling in a lot of other aspects of his schooling. Having band, helps him to know how to focus on a task, and he really loves playing. It would be a huge detriment to him, and all of the band members if there wasn't a replacement music teacher.

It’s a shame that a petition has to exist for this to begin with. I hope the program can remain intact.

As a graduate of GS and the music program in the district, I highly encourage the GS school board to continue making the elementary band program a priority. I understand that funds are tight, but music and the arts are of incredible importance to developing well rounded students. Without an elementary program, the funnel to the middle and high school music programs will be severely diminished. It is safe to say that the majority of my memories from school (elementary through high school) involve music in some form, whether it be under the direction of Mrs. Palmascino, Mr. Hammil, Dr. Orange, or Mr. Tribble. I learned so much though my music education. Please, make elementary music education a priority.

Band is such an important thing in so many people’s lives. By taking it away, it is like taking away a sport like football.
