"You are what you repeatedly do. Excellence is not an event --
it is a habit."

Remember, to earn the privilege of attending this all-day event, students must:

1. Have a 90 or above over-all grade in band (which means Practice Reports must be turned-in)
2. Have 90 or above grades on playing tests for concert/contest Music (which means practicing)

Contrary to popular belief, and misconception, someone with ADHD is not doomed to a life of ongoing struggle and alleged failure. While this person might have certain challenges in his or her life, these challenges can be managed and overcome just like any other challenges that we face in life.

It might not necessarily be as easy as we hope, but success is not out of reach.
