Be your best

Aim for success

Never give up

Demand excellence

These words are on a poster which hangs on the band room door.  It serves as a reminder to the students of what we strive for in the band room.  The students in the Carmen Arace Band program are expected to do/be their best when they come to the band room.  This means coming to class prepared with all materials to perform and to do the necessary daily at-home practice to make progress.  Aiming for success means that each member of the band must be a team player with the common goal of having success at all performances throughout the year.  Each student has the ability to do well so they should never give up on themselves in the band room or in any other subject.  And finally, demanding excellence in every area will help each student reach every goal in life.
