Speaking of High School Music Programs, don't know how it works in your area but in my area, Cavalcade Marching Band Competitions are all the rage.
Not only do my students get to bust their chops at the Friday Night football games, but the go to Cavalcade Competitions on Sundays, as well. Then they come for their lesson on Monday or Thursday and I try to get rid of their mellophone or flugelhorn lip from the weekend. To add insult to injury, Just after Cavalcade season ends in Late November, they get to audition for our District Band and Orchestra Festivals the first Saturday in December. I may be thinking inside the box, but to me, Cavalcade Competition is a big part of what's wrong with High School Music programs. _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
