Whether or not the district is in a time of growth or is in stasis, the band program should continue to move forward and stay abreast with the latest trends in teaching and in performance. The best way to get the needed resources for a program is to plan ahead and show administrators and board members the needs of the program and what the program will look like in the future. The better the picture is painted, the more likely it is that the resources will be there.
Band programs are all inclusive, one of the most visible activities in the district, a source of community pride, and truly is the face of the school district.
It is the charge of the band directors to educate their students at the highest possible level, to educate the Board of Trustees and administrators, to represent the school, district, and community at the highest level, and to create and maintain a level of trust with the administration.
The Board of Trustees, administration, and community should be committed to the excellence of the band program and to that end, provide all of the moral and financial support needed to do the job at the very highest level. There should be a partnership with all parties to provide the best music education experience for the students and to provide the best tools with which to do the job.
