As a retired music teacher, unfortunately this topic comes up every school budget voting year.
I've found that the best way to get your point across is to present facts and figures to the school board.
Find out the number of students participating in the football program, which is ALWAYS the largest budget item of the sports budget.
Divide the cost by the # of students.
Do the same with the band program.
Undoubtedly you'll now have some hard evidence to present to the Board of Education, IN PERSON, at their next budget hearing, to show how little the music program costs in relation to just ONE sport.
Make sure, all the band parents attend when you make your presentation.
