I have taken private lessons and now I am 1st Chair in the school band. I am proud of that. I have played in front of the whole school with Ms. Juan in a duet and I am proud to have had that opportunity. I have been invited to play in the county band next year. If you decide to cut the funds for the county band I will have nothing to look forward to. I have worked for 3 years towards this goal. I dream of teaching music someday and sharing the gift with others. We are what we produce as a culture and music has defined cultures since the beginning. If you cut the band, my heart will be broken and I might have to consider moving to a community that provides more opportunities for me musically. Sincerely, ~-~-k~ Madeline Lish-King 1"17.092 Comm.
