Announcement: 

Band Program Eliminated

It has just been announced that the Band program at Crestview Middle School in Covington, TN will be eliminated next year.  This is the 6 - 8 grade feeder-program for Covington High School, where Dr. Alan Kinningham alan@kinninghammusic.com has been the Director for twelve years.  Not only will this action remove Alice Keelin akeelin@tipton-county.com from instruction at Crestview, and her many students from our association, but will in turn be the destruction of an entire Band program at Covington High.  Both of these schools have stood proud with WTSBOA and had many students participate in every facet of our association. 

An irony of this action.is that this is a Tipton County School, where also resides Brighton and Munford.  Though there is no word on any affect on the other programs in Tipton County, it is sad that administrative decisions can cause what appears to be strong and vibrant programs to be brought to their demise in one pen stroke.  Could YOU be next?

Please feel free to contact either Director with suggestions, or just words of encouragement.  We must NOT let this happen across our region!
