WHEN THE BAND COMPETES EVERYONE IS A WINNER! The Teen Tour Band regularly returns home to Burlington as champions or first prize winner's from internationally scaled competitions -- but the real reason for competing is not to win awards, but to encourage members to reach for higher levels of personal achievements. |

The philosophy supporting the entire music program is a simple one: each member of the Teen Tour Band is strongly encouraged to give his or her best effort, while appreciating and supporting the efforts of all others engaged in activities related to the Band. This philosophy emphasizes the importance to the individual of co-operation, self-discipline, sportsmanship, friendship and an eagerness to learn. Each performer reaps a double benefit when participating in any competition or contest: the joy of competing, and the satisfaction of supporting others as they put forth their best effort. Each
contest is a learning experience for each member -- far more valuable
to the individual, and the entire Band, than the results of any
competition.
When
the Band competes, it is not to win more trophies or awards, it
is to educate, support and encourage the efforts of the young men
and women who will apply the lessons learned in the band as they
march onward through their adult lives.
