Parkview band director says program grew to more than 50 students, seeks instrument storage and practice time
Summary
Band director Mrs. Lamkin told the board Parkview's band enrollment rose from 20 to over 50 students in 10 years and highlighted performance activity and needs for practice time, instrument condition and storage space.
Parkview School band director Mrs. Lamkin reported the program has expanded significantly under her leadership, growing "from 20 students to more than 50 students under her direction during the past 10 years." She noted the program gives multiple performances each year, citing a Charter Senior Living holiday-season performance in 2025, and asked the board to consider support for additional practice time, instrument maintenance and storage.
Board members acknowledged the growth and the constraints the program faces; no formal action on funding or capital modifications was taken during the meeting, but the discussion flagged facilities and scheduling as areas for staff follow-up before the next school year.
