Many of us have asked him in a non-offensive and respectable way, but we can never really get a straight answer from him. I don't think he realizes just how big of a hit enrollment is going to take.

One of the problems finacially too is in the Band Parents group. They do alot of the fundraising and behind the scenes work, but starting last year the band boosters have stoped boosting as much as they have been. We as students tried to step up and try to rais some money, but the truth is, all we can do are things like carwashes, and thats not going to fund a trip to Midwest. The Band Parents have talked so much about various fundraisers like Golf Tournaments, Poker Nights, Car Shows, grant writing, all the things that students can't really do, but nothing ever gets done, it's just all talk.

I'm not trying to point the blame on the band parents, or anyone for that matter, I just don't want to loose this amazing program that the school has worked so hard over the last 25 years to create, and I'm not sure what else we as students can do.
