It gives them character, confidence, and discipline. It makes them proud when they reach their accomplishments. Some students even go on to making a career in the arts.

We talk about making all the schools good for all students, we need to have the special programs for the students that go above and beyond with their schools.

Although band remains an option in many middle schools, music programs, in general, are being degraded by budget cuts. If parents can help retain the All County option, I'm sure they would.

All-county is a wonderful opportunity for our music students to gain the experience and confidence they need to continue their musical studies, and to make them competitive with students in other counties in all-district and all-state performances.

It also gives us a chance to play are instrument and get critiqued. Canceling all-county band is a mistake.

This is a very important competition for young musicians. I would be disheartened to know that Wake county does not support this program.

Having a focus, like a county band competition, gives that age group a stepping stone to learn about personal achievement. They are judged against their peers and learn ways to improve. The pride of accomplishment is very important.

from Wake's All County Band and it is a shame that the kids have to suffer because the adults in power can't handle the finances.

It is such a good learning experience for band students. I would imagine it is because of budget cuts, but if there is any way to keep it, please do so.
