Let's be honest here...most of our kids aren't going to graduate high school with the mindset of becoming members of a symphony orchestra. They are in band because they enjoy it, at least parts of it. Offer a pep band rehearsal time, play tunes they will enjoy playing, and get them out there in front of the public. Otherwise, play your 50 minutes of chorales and go home at 4:00.
