We, the HBCU BAND DEPT. LLC, along with the devestated students, parents, alumni, and community members, urge you to take immediate action to save the West Mecklenburg High School Marching Band Program. This beloved program has been an integral part of our school's identity and spirit for years, providing countless opportunities for students to develop valuable skills, build confidence, and foster lifelong friendships.

The marching band program has been a source of pride for our school and community, consistently delivering high-quality performances and representing our school with excellence. However, due to the recent removal of the acting Band Director Mr. Chris Jones and lack of funding and school support, the program is now facing an uncertain future.

We believe that every student deserves access to quality music education and extracurricular activities that enrich their high school experience. By saving the West Mecklenburg High School Marching Band Program, we can ensure that future generations of students can continue to benefit from this exceptional program.

Our Goals: 1. Preserve the marching band program and its traditions.

2. Ensure adequate funding and resources for the program.

3. Support the dedicated instructors and staff who have made a positive impact on our students' lives.

We Urge You To: 1. Meet with stakeholders to discuss the program's future.

2. Explore alternative funding sources and partnerships.

3. Prioritize the marching band program in budget decisions.

By signing this petition, we demonstrate our commitment to saving the West Mecklenburg High School Marching Band Program and ensuring its continued success. We look forward to working together to preserve this vital part of our school's culture.
