Compete, or not to mpete? That s not the stion. petition - Challenges students to be the best s students accountable for developing their ormance in a non bias and highly competitive ironment lves a high level of commitment and skill to ieve the goals of the ensemble at a state level ourages: Pride, Precision, Excellence
Drawbacks - Cost Time Commitment Sports / Outside activities conflicts
n - Competition Instills a desire for the student to be their best. Not the best Encourages : Pride Spirit Confidence and Excellence Flexibility in performance schedule Volume of literature is increased and varied thru out the season Everyone has a spot. - The only Prerequisite is a willingness to participate
Drawbacks Students that would like the challenge of competition do not have the opportunity Due to the volume of students there is limited time where they are all in the same place at the same time
