Center Grove's instrumental music program is one of the national leaders for the performing arts. They are at the forefront of the activity and it would be a horrible thing to take something so GREAT away from the kids. If it can happen to them it can happen to anyone

I was in the choir for four years in high school. Those where the best 4 years of my life. I made a lot of good friends and I have a wonderful voice. I learned a lot from my time in choir and It would be a real shame if others didn't get that chance. Please don't do this.

Wow. As a CGHS grad ('90) and former band/color guard member- these programs helped form professional integrity. I'm a 4th grade teacher in FL at a school that hasn't had an art teacher in over 10 years. Growing up with art all of the time, it makes me very sad. These kids are missing pieces of their ed. that they'll need as adults. How can you deny them that?

This is the best part about CGHS. I studied art and music even after HS. I learned most of my life lessons along with self respect and integrity from CG marching band. NOT from the majority of the regular studies, those teacher didn't care as much.( and also made fun of me for being in the music and art programs, MR. Milligan) Without these programs get ready for drugs, drinking , and higher teen pregnancy at CG, something we are not known for.

It has been my dream to move back to the Center Grove area and send my future children to the same school I went to from kindergarten to graduation. But if the fine arts are cut, I will not move back into the Center Grove school system. These activities not only add to education, but also are a legacy of the school that kids are proud to be a part of. It would be a shame to lose these programs that have given glory to Center Grove for years and years!

I was a proud member of the CG Orchestra, Pit Orchestra, and Chamber Orchestra. I continued to study music in college and graduate with a Minor in Music. It has added richness to my life, and it would break my heart and the hearts of many students if the programs were to be cut. All some children have is the love of music, and yet we waste money in other areas and then to try to rectify the situation by eliminating other programs. Why don't we cut funding for algebra, while we're at it?

My wonderful experience and education at Center Grove High influenced my decision to pursue music in college. Also my memories and friendships made through Orchestra and Debtones show choir were the best experiences of high school for me.

The arts are part of the core curriculum. Invest in the arts to invest in your community. Reducing exposure to the arts will only serve to destroy the cultural opportunities available for all in the area. Be smart about cost savings and don't destroy something that is working well. A cut to the arts only means you are more interested in training employees and not educating citizens. Save the arts!

Education is more than buildings and stadiums. It is the opportunity to experience, music, art, and sports to give the students in our area a well rounded education. My children and their friends are involved with these programs. Center Grove has made it's reputation throughout the country more in the arts than any where else! Why would any school board, principle support this agenda? All independent statistics support that kids involved in the arts are better students than the average student.

Without the band program at Center Grove I would not be a band director today. I am a 1992 graduate of Center Grove. My sister and I both participated in all music activities while in middle and high school. All students deserve the opportunity we had, to share and explore music! I urge you to explore all options before making cuts into the arts.

every year we hear about how other countries have better schools than us- yet we keep cutting important programs that actually motivate our kids. Well rounded kids are exposed to all areas of interest- not "pigeon-holed" into specific classes that will result in better test scores for their schools. It is time to take a stand for the kids, and our country's future.

The Arts are a crucial part of our everyday lives. For many of us, it's what keeps us living day to day. Imagine a world without music, ipods, Broadway, movies, or even television shows. Hard to imagine right? That's because the arts are very important to not only our growth in knowledge, but in securing our culture. It is a proven fact that students who participate in the arts do better academically as a result. Jack Stamp explains it best. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mw4vqll9cAM

My heart is pained to think that the first place we go to find the funds to support the budget cuts is our highly successful fine arts program. The pride and disciple that the students who are in these programs have is irreplaceable. They accomplish skills and confidences that can not be acquired in the normal classroom setting.
I ask that there be other options explored to compensate for the cuts. Most of the fine arts programs are strongly funded by the parents.
Thank you,
