Perhaps you've noticed that almost everyone at the band competitions is wearing some gear that represents their school and/or band. It takes no effort to identify what community any person represents. Therefore it's easy to form opinions about their community based on how they act. This goes both ways... the way WE act represents not only us, but the entire Jenison community. The band directors talk to the students a lot about the importance of representing our school well. When they are in uniform or wearing their Jenison Bands jacket, they should be aware of how they are treating others, the language they are using, and the actions they take. The Jenison Band program has the reputation it has because of this dedication of the students and band directors, techs, and parents to represent Jenison well. While it was fun to take first in the competition last week, it is also important to acknowledge that our competition was pretty amazing too. So have fun, cheer for our band, and be grateful when they win. But please, remember who we represent and how hard EVERY band works.
