Overfunded Public School Forced To Add Jazz Band

MANALAPAN, NJ—Benjamin Harrison Middle School faculty members regretfully

announced Tuesday that, despite their best efforts to prevent it, the school simply

had too much state and federal funding to avoid adding a jazz ensemble to its music

program.

"We did not want it to come to this," principal David DeCarlo said after

introducing students to Mr. Metheny, an award-winning jazz guitarist and the new

school music teacher. "The children are the ones who are going to suffer. Especially

little Sammy Orlovsky, who will have to play those drums where instead of using

drumsticks you tap the cymbals with tiny brushes."

The school plans to use its remaining $22.1 million budget to add a sculpture

wing to the art department, triple janitors' salaries, and purchase a second

computer.

Building a Bank

• Turn fundraising into a student learning or performing opportunity by building

students’ knowledge of the business and marketing side of the music

industry and using that to get kids to generate ideas and revenue.

• Student Busking

• Train students to host a Monthly Smoothy or Coffee Café

• Hold a community musical showcase with entry fees and an audience fee.

• Host a desert night and silent auction

• Community Potluck supper or Fall supper

• Canadian Tire BBQ’s

• Collaborate with community musicians, local bands, or fellow music teacher

colleagues
