Re: Are even clarinet hobbyists a dying breed?

I don't notice a big decline of music in my area. My school district has supported the arts for as long as I can remember and all of our music teachers would do anything to keep it alive. We have funding for in-class time, but we must pay an extra marching band fee to cover the costs of competition, buses, food, uniforms, shoes, etc.

At my school we have 2 Bands, 5 Choirs, 2 Chamber Choirs, 2 Orchestras, 1 Jazz Band, and 1 Jazz Ensemble. The bands, choirs, and orchestras all meet during school. The chamber choir meets during our lunch shift and then after school once a week, while the jazz bands meet before school twice a week.

The only decline I've seen is that our band has had a couple fewer clarinet players in the last 3 years. It seems that the quality of the players overall is decreasing with time. The seniors are mostly the only kids that practice and really care about band, as well as the huge lump of kids that are making the All-District and All-State groups.

The one thing that bugs me about funding is that the sports get all the money that comes from our school vending machines.

Here's a link to my school's music program webpage. I think you'll see that they really support us:
