Final supporters
1. Jr. high choirs build a foundation for the high school programs. Gaps in the curriculum are difficult to overcome.
2. 6th grade is a transitional year, in which getting involved in school programs boosts school spirit and creates a sense of community among jr. high students.
3. Music benefits our students intellectually as well as emotionally. Choral music is a tool for building self confidence and emotional health as well as reinforcing literacy, mathematics and positive behavior. It is also accessible to students who may have limitations that prevent them from participating in instrumental music.
4. Unit 5 has done an excellent job investing in music education. We believe all Unit 5 students should have the option of participating in choir and/or instrumental if they so choose.

My daughter needs this. instrumental isnt for everyone and she just wants to sing with her friends.
Ridiculous to cut this! 6th grade is hard enough without taking away their activities.
Give the kids a chance to express themselves. music helps keep them focused in their other classes too.
KEEP THE MUSIC PROGRAMS ALIVE!!
Music is just as important as math. cutting this is a huge mistake for the kids development.
