Since almost everyone in the previous thread wanted to see an upgrade on our band. thought I would start a thread for ideas.
How about this. Actively recruit talented HS band members( Seniors/Juniors) to play, participate with the UL band, on games that do not conflict with their HS schedule. Give them uniforms, the whole nine yards, etc.. Perhaps hold competition for say 25 to 40 spots?? They have to earn hit. Music students to compete just like athletes!This would work perfect for this upcoming year year, as we have no week day games. Why would they do this, perhaps getting a leg up on schollies, when they graduate? Could they be offered AP college credits for participating, of course they could I would think. The idea is to build a pipeline of band / music students for our local schools. This is a no brainer IMO. Any other thoughts, ideas?
