Speaking from personal experience, playing music in school opened a lot of doors for me. I was always involved while in junior high and high school. So, that kept me busy. I acquired a passion for something, which is important to learn as you are growing up. It also offers a lot of scholarships to students who might not be able to afford college. I agree that it helps students to keep better grades in school. Just like sports programs you are required to keep a good grade average. \n\nOne thing you could do is a survey around your own school. Ask fellow students if they would like to have a music program and would they be interested in being involved in it. How would it impact their lives? Showing the school board how important it is to you and the students might help them see how important it can be for their future.

Dude, marching band is awesome. At least it was for me. But we did competition. Does your school's band do competition?

it depends on the music you are going to use and what skills you are good at. if you put them in a routine then you should be good.

Umm... probably not going to be the best years of your life. There is just so much change going on during the middle school years (i.e. school, friends, your body, etc.). I thought it was o.k., but it could've been better. Actually, now that I think about it, middle school is just a big blur for me. I think I remember more about elementary school and, of course, high school. Who knows, this is what I think and what I experienced. It will more than likely be real and fun, but not real fun...

Well I won't put their names on here, but my band directors in High School had a major influence on me.  Because I had always been passionate about music, they instilled in me a desire to become a better student and an even better person.  I don't think I would be where I am today without these very special people.\nBecause of them I chose to become a band director.  I wanted to give back to students what they gave to me: a sense of pride, self-esteem, and that I really can achieve great things if I put my mind to it.  \nAnd of course, they were goofy as all get out, and that's what I love about the profession.  I am not a normal classroom teacher and get the chance to make music fun and exciting.  (At least I hope the kids think I do!)  \nAnyways, all that to say, I have a big place in my heart for teachers.  I can definitely say I really love what I do.

Don't go... You have great music taste. Share your musical taste with others and check out new bands while everyone is having a miserable time at the prom!

absolutely not! drums are the most complicated instrument there is. I think the problem is people don't realize how deep the concept of drum beats,grooves,and fills are. Most people consider drums "noise" which is NOT true.Drums can be melodic if  you play them certain ways.Drummers are not as recognized as they should be for the talent and determination it takes to play the drums.they are the backbone and metronome of the band.
