They have auditions too?! Our first time navigating this so I thought the submitted videos were the ‘audition’. |

| I have a seventh grader in band - she didn’t find out until she got her schedule right before school. |

| My 6th grader auditioned in person a few weeks ago. We haven't heard anything yet. |

| It varies from school to school. Some teachers visit schools and do in-person auditions. Some do video. I believe they also talk to the current teachers to get input about students. |

Yes, both nerds and non-nerds do band. |

The College Entrance Examination Board found that students involved in public school music programs scored 107 points higher on the SATs than students with no participation. |

Pp is out of touch. My kid loves band. MS incentives it with a trip to Busch Gardens. |

| Band kids have unapparelled discipline. And their sense of community and support is also exemplary. No other kids have these traits. |
