Upper Lake High School has a new music building, new instruments, a very competent music teacher, and students who want to be apart of a thriving music program. So why is it on the agenda to be cut? The community has paid for a program that brings many delightful dividends. How will the community replace music at the festivals, the parades and the sporting events? Where does the community think the students who love making that music will go, Clear Lake High School? We want to retain our students but we look at cutting programs that keep students here at ULHS. If you want to keep music education in your community, you need to let your school board members know or music will disappear the same way the wood shop program was dropped last year.
