Banding together: Waukesha students support music programs

Waukesha South High School band boosters have set to music their reasons for why band and orchestra should be saved from anticipated cuts in the next school year.

You can check out their multimedia presentation here. A sample: "Don’t let the community that gave us Les Paul end up with Less Music."

The Waukesha School Board is considering $3 million worth of program and service cuts to balance its 2006-’07 budget. Among the cutbacks being contemplated is the elimination of three full-time music teachers, which would push back the start of elementary orchestra and band instruction by one year.

The board has a work session scheduled for Feb. 28. A final vote on program cuts is slated for the board’s March 8 meeting.
