I would get ready to recruit for your own school like crazy because you are probably going to be losing freshman to the new school, that is, if the new school decides to have a field band.

Happened to my school...

Beckman will be a Parade/Pep Marching Band, similar to Foothill. They will also be stressing the Orchestra and Concert Band program. Tustin will be the only competing "field" band in the district.

oh, that's pretty interesting... never heard of a situtation like that.

you might want to go to the feeder schools and teach the kids how to march parade with good technique

take a couple of the section leaders from there and give them special attention: they r probably the leaders of tommorow
No regrets

The Director....

#1 - Let the instrumental music director of the new high school make the decisions concerning his/her program. I am sure that the new director will put together an instructional staff, student staff and parent support group according to his/her needs and wishes. Best to stay out of the way until you are asked...
