Music in schools
Way back in March, I wrote an article about a Montgomery County music teacher's approach and his plans to get an orchestra going for the kids at Price's Fork.
Cute, huh?
I got started thinking about it today when I realized my plans this summer to cover band camps in the region had flopped. As a former band geek (yay! woodwinds), I thought it would be fun to check out the changing face of camp, especially in the times of minimal music ed and astronomical gas prices.
Alas, there's always next year, but if have a good "One time at band camp ...." story for the year, lay it on me.
I was a flag geek and remember band camp fondly. It wasn't the coolest group to hang with in high school, but a lot of fun.
The day we learned tosses, my twin sister and I had to be seperated from the rest of the squad as we had arrived with no skills.
Safety first...lol
