Learning a musical instrument at school has improved children's behaviour, memory and intelligence as proven by government studies. Therefore, let's all support these band students and directors for there hard work and dedication to bring success back to our hometown as well as to themselves. I challenge you to make an effort to encourage our young people in their endeavors as they are our future. People be proud of the community once again and take interest in these fine young men and women.
