Program
Growth
Program Growth and Development
My focus for the program growth was on the Level I class (Beginning Woodwind/Brass) that was feeding into Level II-Concert Band/Stage Band and Level III-Symphonic Band/Show Band, since we had very few musicians coming into our program, or just a few students auditioning for music. Every year our Beginning Band expanded greatly helping our other performing ensembles grow as well.
