Always voice your concerns. One thing I learned in school: if you're annyoing enough, they eventually have to do something about you. If there is a sickening injustice, such as trying to listen to a concert choir, while being interrupted by loud raucous cheering and the blowing of air horns, then something needs to be said, because who can say which is more important? Sometimes it takes more than one voice, and sometimes it takes one very persistant voice, but you need to stick up for yourself and your craft.

I also came from a school that revolved around sports and occassionally paided attention to music... What I found that really worked for my band director is that he made a real effort to work with the atheltic director. He always found a way to be level headed about the importance of both worlds and never step on anyone's toes. He also made it quite clear that the two worlds depended on each other. For example, if you want a half time show during the football game or you want a pep band to play at the basketball games, you have to work together... The band always supported the teams and the director made sure that the coachs showed the same amount of respect towards the music programs. It wasn't always easy and it took a lot of years to get there, but the system worked. The band director always made a real effort to work out scheduling conflicts and, I guess in a little bit of an underminded way, would really persue the kids of the coachs to make sure they joined some music ensemble, so that the coaches were always a little more willing to work with him on situations that arised, considering thier own kids were involved.

Then agian, I also came from a REALLY small town, you know the kinds where everyone knows everyone...
