“Personally, the band program at my middle school gave me something to look forward to every day. I was shy, awkward, and afraid of large social environments. The band gave me an artistic and social outlet and some of my life-long friends, in addition to what would become my career. Not all students fit into the mix easily and I'm grateful that music education can provide opportunities for kids like me. As an adult, I make friends easily and have a rewarding life. Thank you music education!”
