Band at Payson Seymour starts in the 5th grade and stays around the same numbers until 6th grade.Then when they hit Jr. High the numbers dramatically decrease. The reasons Mr. Bowman(our band and chorus instructor)thinks it is such a dramatic decrease are:
1.More choice of classes you can pick from Agriculture, Art, Keyboarding, and Home Economics.
2.Kids are not as interested in music because in grade school you had 3 choices band, guitar,or chorus.
Mr. Bowman believes his numbers will go up because he has been with this group of kids all the way through from sixth grade.It is also a rather large class so that should help to.
