Our students are a diverse group from an inner city that desperately need a chance to be musical and express themselves. They display a drive and a love of the arts that doesn't happen in your everyday high school. These kids need the arts. They're the kind of kids that are most at home on a stage, painting, playing an instrument, or writing poems.
The band program has grown from a meager dozen performers to over thirty within just two years. This fabulous circumstance means that we've had to be resourceful to keep students with instruments in their hands.
Our school's population is not able to afford to rent an instrument like the flute I have requested, let alone to buy it. School-owned instruments are their only shot at getting a musical education and going on to college.
