Fanfare
A
gathering to save Elementary Band & Strings in the Vancouver School Board
When: Tuesday,
April 12, 2016 from 6pm-7pm. Please arrive at 5:50.
This is immediately
prior to the board meeting where the public can offer input regarding the budget
proposal.
Where:
Vancouver
Tech Secondary- Meet in Penticton Street staff parking lot.
Who: EVERYONE
who wants to help save the Elementary Band & Strings program. Students,
parents, concerned citizens.
What: This
is an opportunity to pool our resources and advocacy efforts in support of the
Band & Strings program and elementary music education in the VSB. We hope
to bring together as many people as possible to perform, advocate and make a
statement to the VSB that our community values and insists upon quality
music education for ALL students. The Coalition for Music Education in BC is
helping to facilitate this event, as requested by parents and students. It is
purposely not called a protest, but it is meant to be a statement celebration
of a cause that is important to many.
How: You
may choose to perform with classmates and friends, or to carry a sign or poster
for school board members and the public to see. We want to be visible and
strong! Plan your performance ahead of time- bring instruments and music
and bring your own posters (sample attached including “I’d Rather Play” logo).
Music stands will be provided. If it rains, an indoor location will be
announced upon arrival. We encourage everyone to stay for the following board
meeting to support the many people who will be speaking for the Band &
Strings program.
