The Administration at 35 is trying to shut down the band program because they do not understand the nature of marching band., The school only wants a concert band, The administration down has shut down the marching band and the director has refused to return because of it.
Today in School, the students were talking among themselves in class, they mentioned it it to a teacher who is also a Sponsor for the color guards.She gave them a pass to go to administration about the situation. at that point, those students got support from other students, faculty & staff sponsors who work around the band and they basically caused an uproar. saying "If you shut the band down, your shutting down the entire marching unit" as well as making events like football games boring..
Eventually, My brother who's a Senior went directly to the principal and explained why the band is needed, as well as why the band functions as it does. Eventually she gave him the Keys to the band room and they practiced without a director till the end of the day. After School, the principals asked that they close up for the day. After School there was an emergency meeting with all auxiliary sponsors because of that uproar.
At this point I guess the sponsors of all the supporting groups will have to defend the band program.
All of this simply because The administration does not understand why the band does what they do.
