No one wants to be apart of Leadership for the most part.. They give false hopes and mess over band directors. I have been around their since Mr. Johnson and I can tell you ..that institute is all about getting students so they can get their count up. If a director can't get the students then administration ousts the director and replaces them with whomever they think can bring up the numbers. Those people does not care about the band really..just as long as they have some ppl to keep things a float. Trust me if leadership was something worth going to they would have to turn down folks. IMO leadership is done..point blank. And Cleo Fields has messed over almost every band director in BR. Tiller will be the next to get screwed. lata

What is your issue dude. The problem is there are adults who rather see Leadership fail at the cost of the community and their children. Man I have taught about 7 students from around the area who have come to the rehearsals how to READ
MUSIC in about 2 weeks. These are seniors and juniors. That is the issue. Now if all you are going to do is offer excuses thats ok. But I along with LLI will offer solutions until I leave or as you say "get rid of me". How are you going to get rid of someone you don't pay. I am only doing it because it seemed like the kids wanted something good and LLI can offer that. Other than that I would stay at home with my family in New Orleans. Speak truth and not here say.

I can certainly understand your frustration "big dawg". You are one who have been there for some time..dedicated to just playing and being apart of something big. It's not always simply about that..especically when it comes to LLI. I could be wrong, and for that I know not to speculate too hard but just going from past experiences..it is all just a matter of time. Good luck and much success to the LLI band.
