i know its 90% money related, but i know that many think it isnt very important and cut it because of that. my highschool just got a 25 million dollar renovation, part of that was for a whole new band and orchestra area, rooms, and instrument storage. while 45minutes away, my uncle that is also a band director, just turned 60, and is being pressured into retiring and their music program is going to be cut. how can such differences be so close?
