Some students would never get through school if it had not been for band. Band was their safe place. Band was their home. Band made everything else tolerable. I look at my current band, and I know there are students in it who succeeded in academics because band got them through the tough times.

Amen. I dunno about other kids, but that’s exactly what band and orchestra were for me in high school: a safe place.
