Music is way, way more important in schools than people think it is. It is proven that kids who participate in band classes are more focused in school, and they excel more than other average students who don't participate in band. They also tend to work harder, because they are more motivated than others. I know that I, being in marching band and all, I have to work harder to get all of work done, like home work and everything, it takes up my time on the weekends that others have that I don't.
Music opens up a lot of opportunities for future careers and jobs, and when you have band on your resume then it shows how committed you are to something. I've been in band for 4 years and im wanting to continue it for the rest of my high school career, that will be 6 years!
People in band are very motivated and are supportive. Based off of my personal encounters, I think that I've developed lasting friendships with most of the people in band. I can rely on them when im in need. Music has taught me a lot about how to act, like in public, because of competitions, and it has also taught me that I need to respect what I have. Our band program does not have a lot of money but thanks to all of the alumni and band parents and students participate in raising money for something that is important to us all, I couldn't have learned these things from anywhere else. I love band.
