We believe that IVC underfunds the band and choir programs. According to the band treasurer, Eric Morr, the school only covers 80% of staff salaries, half of new uniforms, and most of the transportation costs. However, this only scratches the surface of the band's financial needs. There are expenses for instruments, props, stands, and sheet music that the Band Boosters must fund on their own. Similarly, the Choir Boosters raises many for most of their expenses because the school only gives them $300 to work with. $300 is not enough for sheet music, microphones, concert attire, and other things. By signing this petition, you are encouraging the IVC School Board to recognize the needs of the choir and band department.

Seeing this kind of momentum feels like a weight lifting off my chest because I know how hard our students have been fighting just to play their instruments. I never expected this many people to see the struggle of our bands and choirs as their own.

My son puts so much work into the choir and it is ridiculous that they only get 300 bucks for the whole year. They need real help.
Music program has been my support system for the past 2 years and it's sad to see we don't get the help we need.
The band is great and deserves better funding.
Support our wonderful music program!

This is a true statement and I’ve dealt with it for 4 years, and all my classmates have also dealt the same. Soemthing needs to be done, and we’re toted of being shoved out of the way.
