I’m sorry to hear that, but not surprised. Advocating for our job is not fair and something I wish to change. That being said the best way to advocate is to show the district/principal, parents and students that your school cannot function without you. Start by picking quality literature. Schedule small performances in the community and of course do football games. Try to balance your instrumentation as best as you can and then practice your butts off for the performances. With a little faith your program is established after a year and then you can emphasize through music social equity and leadership.

We have done community events, football games, basketball games, etc.
I'm trying to find up with some other metrics or indicators of a quality program besides butts in seats.
Are there other things (student leadership, vertical alignment, student accountability things, parental involvement...?)

Look at programs similar to yours and reach out to those directors. Find out what did and didn’t work and then emulate what you see fits for your program.

Was reminded last week of my best off-the-wall response in class. True story.
MS Flute player: “ How do you trill a G?”
Me: “You have to write two books first.”
1. 10 seconds of silence until first lightbulbs go off.
2. 30 seconds until a percussionist went in for the “ba-domp-ding” on snare and cymbal.
3. End of class heard one student say “I still don’t get it.”
MS kids are awesome!

Band teachers... how do your virtual band classes work? I’ve been doing music theory with students via google classroom and kids constantly ask to play instruments. It seems like a nightmare to have 30 kids with instruments online because of the delay in sound. Help plzzzz
