[quote=Anonymous]This is no disparagement on the kids and I don’t think some of the posters intended that in reference to the wins. Two things can be true at once. I am sure these kids worked hard and performed well and earned everything they got. It doesn’t seem that the some of the posters think that the kids somehow didn’t deserve it. It just seems from what I see here that to rest everything on those wins when there seem to be other glaring issues does it seem like a problem.

It’s unfair to assert that these posters, some of which clearly know what has happened and about music and band, are trying to disparage the kid’s abilities, but yet doing the same thing as the supporters here I think, which seem to be using the wins as the most redeeming quality to keep someone around. Theirs is way more to a band program than that. What are the concert band ratings, how were the kids successful across those things, revaluations, districts performances, ability to read music and musicianship, retaining of kids in band…did only detractors children leave? I don’t believe anyone means to disparage the kids here, at least from what im trying to glean. [/quote]
