Ive seen firsthand the time and physical effort that goes into marching band. The hours, heat, sweat, weight of the equipment... That takes physical effort and skill. Plus the choreography of the performances? It's a sport. A team sport.
Rebecca supported: Recognize Marching Band & Color Guard as a Sport in Trousdale,TN or Include Home SchoolersEvery child deserves a fair chance to participate in extracurricular activities. Also most home schooled children are ones who were bullied in the first place and the school refused to do anything in the first place. I was a foster parent and not only experienced the way Trousdale school district treated those different or not so called home grown. Not only students, but also some let's say adults who treated kids differently. What I don't understand is why is home schooling any different from regular schooling they all have to take the same state test at the end of it all right. So I say let them try out and if they are good let them participate.
Tracy supported: Recognize Marching Band & Color Guard as a Sport in Trousdale,TN or Include Home SchoolersMy two sons were part of the Greeneville High School marching band. Watching these kids practice and perform daily, both cadence marching and the formations of their competition shows were as physically demanding as a traditional sport and should be treated as such. Our oldest son was selected to and attended the United States Military Academy - West Point, in part because of both his learned leadership and the strenuous physical participation from 4 years of marching band. Please reconsider your classification of this high school extra curricular activity.
Carol supported: Recognize Marching Band & Color Guard as a Sport in Trousdale,TN or Include Home SchoolersI am a 17 year old who graduated a year early unprepared with a low goa due to the school. The only thing that brought me joy was my counties archery team. But because I wasn't apart of the school I couldn't be on the team. I got to sit and watch from the sidelines as my friends got to do everything. I am grateful to still do the sport but I just wanted to be on the team
Archer supported: Permit Homeschooled Students to Compete in Varsity Sports and ClubsThis is important because if students are homeschooled, they often end up spending hours working on the computer. They must participate in activities that keep them active, and sports are an excellent way to do this. Engaging in sports not only encourages physical activity but also promotes social interaction with others, which is essential for young children. I’m concerned that if homeschooled kids are sitting for extended periods, it may lead to issues such as inactivity and a lack of motivation. I believe that children should be encouraged to stay active, especially while they are young, as they have this opportunity to develop healthy habits.
Abrarr supported: Permit Homeschooled Students to Compete in Varsity Sports and ClubsI think this petition is great. We have been fighting for our standards based art curriculum to be covered. It’s been covered the last two years but this year they won’t and there is a refusal to communicate. It’s forced us question every purchase and stop using the kids education funds all together.
