Is the cost of the RayBans covered in this funding?

I hope that at least the jazz band is going to play for football games and such like. I'm not talking half-times and such - I mean ACTIVELY mid-game..
When none of their guys is about to make a touchdown an unnerving wall of sound to make him drop the ball.
That would be rilly cool plus "more bang for the buck" or more bucks for the bang, whatever.

I think it would be cheaper to add a music class of rap.
So many people today have the gold teeth already.

It is so sad to see these things happen! Next thing you know it will happen in our own back yard!
LOL I live too close to Chicago to even dream of such a thing!

Hey, I have a lot of camping equipment on my camping site (My Camping Mall) that can be used to supply the students with some outdoor camp living. That's one unique way to give the students a new learning experience and, at the same time, a real treat.

I wish this was true. If it is, we supply school music departments with musical instruments for school band
http://cooldiscountinstruments.com
music is always the first thing to get cut. such a shame. wish they would cut something else. like school lunch. it was always awful at my school. let's start a new movement. kill the cafeteria, not the band room!
