Aside from the musical elements, band is a melting pot of important “real-life” qualities that are necessary to learn at a young age. These qualities will prepare students for the real world and are concepts that we encounter every day as adults. Physical Coordination, Physical Conditioning, Good Work Ethic, Punctuality, Team Work, Discipline, and Pride are the traits that will be carried over into the everyday life of your child as a result of this band experience. With the combination of the musical and characteristic life traits, it is my hope that students will foster a strong passion for music and education, while upholding a positive attitude that reflects this community, the West Lincoln High School, and this band program.
