Public School people: Do your public schools have a robust music program? Meaning multiple levels of Chorus, Band and Orchestras?
Just left a school event, day 1 of Music in our Schools week, where each night all of one group performs in our high school gym. It's a small-ish district, under 2500 students K-12. Tonight 5 separate groups, Orchestra on this evening, played a few songs a piece, and then all 240 kids from grade 4 thru HD Seniors played a song together. Same setup for the next two nights with the other groups. My question is, how common is this? I've always been lucky enough to have a robust music program where I've lived, honestly I take it for granted. Do you have a robust music program?
