CALLING ALL PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS - PLEASE WRITE LETTER TO SUPPORT BAND IN VANCOUVER SCHOOLS

Click on the title to read the article. EXCERPT:

[BACKGROUND: The BC government is requiring BC schools to "meet their budget targets" with far less resources than ever before.]

"The budget shortfall affects all school districts in BC. Band programs across the board are on the chopping block. If children don’t have access to art programs in school, many will not have access, as parents can’t afford private lessons. What state is this province going to be in 5, 10, 20 years if children aren’t exposed to quality artistic practices through school? Please pass this call-out onto anyone who has a story to tell, we need them all."
