As we all know, our school, expectational band, needs more funding. It just isn't right to have us play on damaged instruments. The worst is percussion. I sit near where they play, or as Mr. T says, percussion land. Have you seen their bass drum? (That big one in the back right.) It has a few holes in it and is covered with duct tape! The xylophone is just as bad. It is held together by an old shoe lace that looks like it's about to snap in two. Mr. T also said tht there are maybe four keys that make a clanking sound. Even though I think money should go to chairs that have cushions in them so our chubby little rumps don't get sore from the constant sitting we all must do(except for the percussion), even though Mr. T will never listen to my idea about cushions or even leathers chairs, I really think that new percussion instrumentation might help the band more. It might even cover up some of the percussionists terribleness! (If that's even a word.) I think the band students aren't the only people suffering due to insignificant funds.. The orchestra might also be. (You can correct me if I am wrong, Aaron.) I know that Mr. Grady said he needs to go and get some cord or cable or something to help get the internet up and running since the school took it because it wasn't working, and they never replaced it. How sad. Art is always in need of supplies so why not help raise money for it? If you guys have any ideas reply on here tell Mr T or other faculty and you could even tell your student counsel representative for your homeroom. Let's think together first. What should you not suggest? Ooh! Ooh! I know! Pick me! Okay, the answer is dances. Everyone knows that they are lame, even the class couples. [Actually, this year it will be MUCH better. And last year, it was a bunch of fun! - Note from Silly.] Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! So think of something else, then tell whoever you want. Just make sure the word spreads. What would our school be without funds? ...Well, it would be how our school is now...

ur definitely chris h...OMG
Does Chris play percussion? I think he does but I didn't have any percussionists in my class last year and this year I am in Alicia's class.
awesomerifical! fantabulous! [lol, dont ask]
Well, the funds have to come from somewhere. Where else, but your parents' pockets? If you want to pay a couple thousand dollars for band room updates, well, good for you.
U know my bass that I play on's finger board is warped. So I have 2 press down like 3/4 in down to get even a screeching note. There is not enough school money 2 fix it, and it is PAINFUL!
YEHA
