The school board folded and the orchestra is staying at West Ashley High. We beat back their budget cuts and saved our music program because we refused to let them silence us. Stay sharp because we will be watching their next move to ensure they honor this commitment.

My wife and I were band parents at WAHS for 10 years with 3 kids and traveled everywhere they competed and enjoyed it as much as the students. We also attended every concert on the stage. These kids NEED this experience. Please keep this going

I think they should be given a chance. the principal didn't even try his hardest to find a teacher and now they wanna get rid of it. they need to keep it

As an educator, I recognize the importance that music provides students. There is always a way to support the arts. Look up what data says about supporting a music curriculum.

the orchestra program is very important to many students at WAHS. i personally am not involved in it but i know many kids who are, and they all love it. this is a big part of being artistic and creative for many kids and to take that away would be so detrimental. please hear us out on this!!

This is a vital part of these kids life. It keeps them interested in something, oUT of trouble, and has the potential to provide college scholarships.

Orchestra is very important, and I would know as I play the viola. The music is always so pretty, and if you can keep band, why not orchestra?

I don't think arts of ANY kind should be taken out of schools! It needs to stop and kids need to be able to learn the wonderful world of arts, wither its music, drama or art class!

Keep the Arts alive. Music is a vital aspect of life, not just for learning, for life. Thank you.
