[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My older dd did the Literature class when it was still required and raves about it still. She also did after-school band; I think very highly of Mr. Puckett, the band teacher. It's unbelievable how much work he puts into the kids at Eastern.

My younger dd will start Eastern next year and will follow the same path. She did cello in 4th/5th, but she will quit and start over on a new instrument to do after school band, as after-school orchestra is a club that only meets once a week. I don't have any grand ambitions for her to be a music superstar, but if she's going to continue an instrument in high school (or have the option) the after-school band is a lot more hours than the after-school orchestra.

[b]It is a bummer that there aren't activity buses that get all magnet kids back to their bus stops after band[/b], although I can certainly understand why. We have made after-school band work with a carpool, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we can find a carpool for next year as well.[/quote]

Is this because the band ends too late for the students to catch the activity bus, or are you referring to those days (like Mondays and Fridays) when there will be no activity bus at all? (Is the after school band class conducted every day like a regular class as opposed to only Tue/Wed/Thu like other after school activities?)[/quote]
