If school boards valued music more, they would provide us with the funding

How true! This will be my fifth year as a band parent, and it seems that
professional music educators (how's that Patty?) must, by necessity, be
preoccupied with fund raising just to keep their programs running. How much
time does this leave the professionals to instill in their students a love
and appreciation of music, not to mention teaching the fundamentals? What
message does this send about the lasting value of the performing arts versus,
for example, television or other forms of prepackaged entertainment?
Comments, anyone?

By the way, Carl, where in Florida? I'm from Orlando.

Regards to all,

Jim
