  urlLink No more chalkboard&nbsp; urlLink Anyone familiar with our bandroom would know that when you walk in, there was a strangely out-of-place chalkboard embedded into the floor.
This chalkboard has harbored kids who want to go unnoticed for one reason or another, taken-up and limited the setup of the band and simply put, has been an out-dated, unnecessary piece of equipment for many years. The gentleman whom I teach with has vowed to remove this chalkboard for years. Finally, he resolved that this is the year that we would rip it out.
As you can see from the picture, the board is now in pieces (look to the floor in the picture for many of them) and all that's left is to cut....that's right, cut the two posts with a reciprocating saw. For some though that have been here for years longer than I have and remember the chalkboard, it may be hard to say goodbye. I can see how the board may be an attachment for many. To this I say only that I am sorry and they are more than welcome to take the remaining pieces of the board home with them.
It would certainly be doing us a favor! In an attempt to boost the popularity of the band program, we could just leave the posts and find some way to kick field goals during band class. Bandball? What do you think?
