Mr. Thomas was an exemplary band director and to follow in his footsteps will not be an easy task. I hope the new director can meet the demands of our proud and hardworking students. For most of them, marching band is the highlight of their high school career and they deserve to feel represented properly.

This is not meant to be an attack towards you. I, along with many other band students, like you as a director, but I would also like to attend more than 3 competitions. Marching band is about competing, just like other highschool sports. The players and players parents of the football team would be outraged if they only played 3 games.

It is understandable that as a new band director, you don't want to overextend yourself. However, if you don't learn to work outside of your comfort zone and take on challenges, why even bother with being a band director and instead just go and teach music theory.

This is a high school band program. Not a college band program. I understand that band is not all about competition, but it is what brings us our joy and motivation. Let the students decide on what the student program wants to do.

cmon homie. Losing 18 seniors is bad enough. Taking away Div II and some competitions is the icing on the "Leave Band before it's too late" cake. Like Alena said, in college, there are no competitions for the bands. Give them the few years they have left of competing. It's something everyone enjoys and spending hours at band camp and hours during and after school is not worth 3 competitions.

I'm a band member from a different school, but I'm friends with one of your members. Surely the directors and faculty have to understand how much band means to their students. To most of us, band is our home in high school. It's where we meet our first friends and the place we know we can be safe and relax in a sea of pubescent teenage drama. I've had to watch one high school band program fall apart under a shift I'm power with a band director that wasn't qualified and wasn't putting the needs of the students as musicians and developing individuals first, and I had to watch their souls be crushed and see them be permanently changed in a negative way. It may sound melodramatic, but that's how much influence these adult leaders have on these young adults.

I get that you're still new and want to assert your dominance, but maybe you should take some advice from people who have been doing this for several years. I can guarantee you that they will say that they take the wishes of the students into consideration.

2014 GHS Band alumna here, currently in the marching band at Vanderbilt. Div II is our biggest competition. Watched my younger brother march at Div II in 2015 when we made it to finals. For a small band that has worked so hard to make progress, Div II is an important way to keep track of how we're doing. It's a motivator. The only thing I don't like about college band is that we don't compete. So don't take that from your high schoolers before asking them what they think.

I would put forth my best effort in the three weeks of camp and the entire season to see the band become a stronger and better team, win some trophies, and take home some hardware. I do not see 3 competitions and no Div 2 ample opportunity for this band nor myself in progressing as a musician. I and others would like to have one show to mold into the best product it can be and practice it during Friday night football games so we can show freshmen what it's like to play in front of a crowd and on a field and for veterans to become reacquainted with that feeling while performing the show we will play in competition. I wish no disrespect to you and I don't necessarily know the exact amount of truth behind all this but I am signing this petition for the band to be the best it can be, for me to be the best player I can be, and see the result of all our collective efforts being rewarded every competition and finally at Div 2.

I used to be in this band before I moved to Gallatin. I would've been a senior in the GHS band in the 2017-2018 year. It saddens me to see that the program would turn out this way after so many years of hard work towards finals.
