An ongoing problem has been going on where I live for some time now, and I believe that the matter needs to be addressed. I’m not entirely certain if this has been going on in other places as well, but it is bothersome to me that people seem to think that the music program is somehow beneath sports programs in schools these days.

I was in English class and my teacher was trying to recruit some people who would be willing to help run the concessions stand for a high school basketball game, and when she came to me, asking if I would be able to, I told her that I probably would be at the game, but that I wouldn’t be able to help with concessions because I would be playing in the pep band during that time, to which she replied with something along the lines of, “Oh, yeah! That’s kinda the whole point of what you guys do, isn’t it?”

First off, I would like to point out that the answer to this question is no. That is not all that the band does for the school. We are not just a commodity to be used as incentive to come to all of the basketball, football, or any other sports related events. The “whole point” of what we do is not to just bring entertainment to the parents of sports kids while they sit on their butts in the stands, watching a bunch of teenagers throw a couple of balls back and forth.

Our purpose is to make music. Sure, we do play to support our fellow students and classmates in their games, but we also do it for ourselves. Music is supposed to be for everyone, to bring people together, to fill their hearts and souls by bringing them a piece of beauty. And when a person makes music? They are practically bearing their souls to the world, saying “Here I am. Listen to what I am feeling. This is what I have to say.” It is a work of art to be appreciated for what it is, and shouldn’t be forced out of anyone, and definitely not for people who are unappreciative of the effort that goes into it.

Our band is not just there to cater to the whims of the school board, who seem to think that running us dry by making us play at all home games, three times a week is an acceptable thing to do. I am sick and tired of everyone in our school looking at the people in the band and questioning us about why we would even think about doing something as lame as playing an instrument, while expecting us to be there to support them in their sports games while never doing the same for us at our own concerts and competitions.

The whole music program in general should have more support, not just the band. Our band and choir go to competitions and get excellent placements in nearly everything we do, but we hardly get recognition for any of it. We do Christmas and spring concerts that pretty much only close friends, parents and old grandmas go to. And yet even though we’re pushed around and albeit under-appreciated, we still continue to stay. Why? Because we care about each other, and about what we do. Most of us have been making music since before we even hit puberty. We have been in the band together long enough to learn how to be in tune with each other to the point of knowing exactly when someone in our group so much as needs to take a breath during a song. That is something that you don’t see most anywhere else, and I certainly haven’t been able to see it in some of the other programs that go on in this school.

Our band is like our family. And as a band family, we genuinely enjoy making music together and working to become better musicians both as a group and individually. However, it is due to the ignorance and bias of the school board that we are sometimes deprived of such opportunities. When I was in seventh grade, my band director had scheduled a field trip for our band weeks in advance, where we would get to spend an entire day under the guidance of an actual orchestra director along with the bands of seven other schools where we would be able to better our skills as musicians. But at the very last minute, our school board forced our band director to cancel the event that our entire music department had been looking forward to for weeks, so that we could play at the basketball team’s senior night, which in and of itself goes to show just how much the people in charge of our school care about the music program.

Not to mention the fact that the very same year, our band director was fired because she wasn’t having the band come to play at all of the sports games. At the time, the band had only consisted of eight people. Eight people who were exhausted because they were being expected to spend hours playing for the sports teams games instead of doing anything that was actually for themselves.

Issues such as these have been addressed to the school board by the parents of the kids in the music program, over and over again and have continued to be ignored.

It is degrading and downright offensive that people seem to think that our band’s only purpose is to cater to the whims of the school board and various sports programs. It breaks my heart that when we go to play at sports games, the only people who bother to compliment us on our efforts and abilities are people who are there to support the opposing team, instead of the people in our own community. It is disappointing how little recognition we get, and I sincerely hope that one day we will be able to have this issue resolved.

Thank you for listening to my TED talk.

btw if you borrow dvds or cds from library you can rip them onto your own blanks or onto your hard drive or whatever. librarians don’t care and they won’t know if you do it or not

#not pjo #chitter chatter #library tag #when I was training as a page one librarian was showing us the music section #and was like people come in and take out a bunch of cds and rip them onto their phones and return them the next day #it’s materials moving in and out baby that’s all that matters #get yourself a library card #(not all libraries have a music and dvd/bluray section but it’s worth checking!) #(and get a library card even if you don’t use it) #(but check out your local library to see what they do offer bc there’s lots of programs and other things too) #(not every public library is perfect but you can help influence it to make it the space you want) #100

both found at my local vinnies. I may go back for Polka Party honestly, my partner loves ridiculous records. The jacket was real suede but also $45, and far from my personal style. I left it so the right y’allternative girl can give it a good home.
