    This comment is not directed at anyone in general...just wonder how the rest of you would feel about this issue...Attended a school board meeting a couple of days ago where certain school board members and supporters were really demonizing the Kountze  Athletic program because the program did not get the same in kind % of budget cuts the Band program took on...Included in these cuts was the elimination of private lessons for band students.  Then the board or certain members shoved enough and got the lessons restored to the budget and asked for complete cuts  across the  budget to every extra curricular activity...I mean lets be fair but now those supporting the band program are willing to punish everybody just so they can keep private lessons. You know when I wanted my son to be better at the sport he excels at we went and got private lesson, which I paid for, but because playing an instrument is more respectable and productive than my stupid jock of a son's sport he plays...he works just as hard to be great at his passion as a band student. The district does not offer my son private lesson...well I take that back if he plays football he gets private lessons or just as good because football has position coaches. I am not bashing the band I am just saying fair goes both ways and over the years in Kountze the athletic program has been underfunded in comparison to other districts.  I am just glad our athletic program is allowed to be good at one sport and on a lenient year maybe two! You know band is great, it teaches kids discipline, dedication and gives a sense of achievement, plus if your good enough you can even go to college on a scholarship. Wow, just thought about something...kids who play sports, girls and boys, get those exact same benefits. Just asking people to be fair and respect what is important to others, because I respect how hard others work, their needs, and minimize their intrest.
