SM Music Cuts - Save the Music

The School Administration has proposed to cut one orchestra position and also if the unions don't agree to $600,000 in benefits cuts, they will eliminate orchestra and one vocal music position.

We need all music alums to come out on Wednesday, March 3rd to school board and tell the board not to. If you have family in the area, encourage them as well.

If you live far away, please write to the school board members and tell them how music made a difference in your adult life. Their email addresses are on the following link.
