I would like,on behalf of the KISD Band Boosters, to request the use
of the AG Barn on the weekend of March 5,6,& 7, 2004. We are
exploring the idea of inviting every school band program for a radius of
50 miles to participate in a pre-uil competition and festival. Currently,
there is no venue for any such competition in the Hill Country and the
opportunity is there to promote our kids, our bands, our community, and
our musical heritage. We are fortunate to have, within 50 miles, three
4-A championship bands, Tivy, Fredericksburg, and Boerne. Those
three have been perennial powerhouses and a vast pool of talent.
Sometimes though, we tend to forget that we also have, Ingram, Harper,
Comport, Center Point, Medina, and Bandera. These schools also have
a tremendous contribution to make.
What we propose is to bring them all here. Let them compete at our
new high school facility, and shuttle them to the Ag Barn for
performances by their special bands,ie. Jazz, Swing, Polka, Rock and
Country. While the bands are performing, we plan to bring in clinics
featuring local artists, Jam Sessions, Talent competitions, etc.
We don't plan to do this all alone. We would like to do this in
conjunction with the booster organizations of each respective school.
We also plan to share in the proceeds, with each school getting their fair
share.
Not only will this promote community spirit, it will give smaller
bands an opportunity to tap into resources they have never had access to
before. They will be able to see what the other kids are doing and
further their own goals. If we invite the music companies to sponsor
booths, they will also be able to see the latest in band technology.
We feel that this is in keeping with our goals, to further interest in
the band programs of the area. We feel that this will be beneficial for
the county, as is anything that increases awareness of our promotion of
the arts and children in our area.
We would like the Commissioners to forgive the fee for the use of the
facility. It is for the children and our community. These children
should feel proud to be from Kerr County and I don't know of any better
way to support them. Thank your consideration and this opportunity.
