Music and band is part of the TEKS, which makes it curricular in the state of Texas.
The term "co-curricular" isn't part of the Texas educational language/landscape, and hasn't been for thirty years or more.
In our case, a co-curricular band component would be a Salvation Army brass band or possibly a JROTC band in place of a school-funded band. Co-curricular is an outside organization providing what the school should/could provide but doesn't.
Please let the term die.
