The objections are from parents of older kids who are just NOT as good. Trust me, they are not as good. These parents can keep fooling themselves, but it is rare to hear that a younger girl was brought up and the older girl is better. Will these parents also go to the school board and protest a young girl who practices her violin and attends private violin lessons from sitting first chair in a high school band. Better yet, put an end to advanced math and advanced high school curriculum. What these parents are looking for are participation ribbons. Sorry, but us crazy travel parents are just looking for our kids to have the chance to play. Given the chance, these kids show they are simply better.
