Save The Band: Not Cool, Dude.

So last week, in band, we were all sitting in our chairs talking with our friends and having a good time, when Mr. Farris went and sat in his chair in the front of the room and handed us the bad news, no more middle school band or choir starting next year.

So we're all like "WHAT!?" and everyone starts talking again. We have a ton of questions, and this is all due to BUDGET CUTS!?

So pretty much they don't want to mess up the "important" classes so they're cutting out the ones they don't think NEED to be there. UM, HELLO!? Band lets you be apart of something, why are they cuttting it? You're pretty much learning a new language, then you read it, interpret it, and move your fingers while adjusting volume and pitch. But I guess card games or yoga class are better to them?

So the band is working hard to get things back to normal, we have a facebook page and now this blog, and several petitions circulating, as well as this wonderful video by Kaila!
