"I support this petition"

"Anthony, my grades suck compared to yours. & my parents allow me to do whatever i want. & they encourage any dreams that i may have. Your a very talented person, as we can see, & if you want to accomplish your dream DO IT. & if your parent"

"No!! We need you on the band!! Your a awesome player!!"

"Hey darling. I, as you know, disagree with what your parents are doing to you. You have so much you want to do in life and I tell you over and over again that you should do what you want to do and not worry about what they have to say. And this will all b"

"You seem to be an intelligent sort of kid and from what I've seen, marching band teaches kids life skills (like dedication, good work ethic, etc) that, in the long run, are far more important to the shaping of your character than any class you'll take in "

"Your grades are passing and I don't see why it should hold you back."

"I think thats dumb! your grades are way better then mine..and drumline is awesome"

"While I back your parents' right to absolute last authority, if I knew them I would encourage them to allow you to continue marching band if at all possible. Your grades seem very good. Statistics prove that involvement in music actually enhances the inte"

"I was involved throughout highschool and now through corps. The fact is, I had worse grades in easier classes. This young man should be commended not condemned. He obviously has handled himself in an appropriate manner and managed his time. We all have ti"
