Why Support Music Education
Research has repeatedly shown a strong music education program helps boost a child’s development, school readiness, social-emotional development, motor skills, mathematics literacy, and language arts. Music also provides students with exposure to other languages. Combining those skills and those needed to be a successful marching band musician helps students’ bodies and minds work better together.
Likewise, the marching band helps students curate friendships, form community, and learn discipline while expressing their creativity on the field. This competition allows students to be in unison with their peers as they compete against the Mid-Atlantic Region’s finest high school marching bands. The modern marching band in competition looks more like cinema on the field than marching bands of the past. What students can showcase now is simply stunning, preparing them for many careers in the creative arts, business management, engineering, and beyond.
