Proposed Changes to Middle School Band - Southern Boone Band Program: Elimination of 6th Grade Band, as well as 7th & 8th Grade Bands only meeting every other day. This would result in students entering into 9th - High School Band with less than sufficient skills to perform publicly & compete at competitions. Incoming Freshman band students would most likely lack the basic ability to play the Fight Song & Star Spangled Banner. All events would be affected : Homecoming, Veterans Day, Pumpkin Fest, State & District Music festivals, football games, pep assemblies, parades,and more. This change along with the Elimination of the 6th grade Band program will damage the Southern Boone Band Program beyond repair. Please reach out to Administration and let it be known our community does not want this change. #SaveSoBoCoBand **Please Share**
