Music helping schools (Continued from page 1) The guitar lessons began this year and will "hopefully" expand to other schools in the future. "We are always looking to ex pand and better our music pro gram," McNeill said. Although McNeill sees more ad vancement on the horizon, she feels that Hoke now has one of "the best music programs within the state." "Considering the size of our county, I think we have made some excellent achievements," McNeill said. Throughout the years, the bands, choruses and chorales have "excelled" in state and national competitions, giving them ex cellent ratings and recognition beyond the Hoke County line. "Our music program is known throughout the eastern part of the United States," McNeill said. "I am very proud of what these students and teachers have done for the program," she added. While the music program has boosted the Hoke School system, McNeill believes it is more a shot in the arm for the students than for anyone else. "They really seem to love it," McNeill said. "It really holds their attention. They participate one-hundred per cent," she added. "It is hard to find a student in volved with the music program that is not really involved with what they are doing," McNeill said. Through the music programs McNeill believes that students ac quire self-discipline, leadership, a working relationship with other students and a chance to be expos ed to a variety of different people. "It builds a positive attitude in these students. They learn to get along with each other and help their fellow students," McNeill said. "Music students are like one big family," she added. According to McNeill, between three and five graduates each year continue their musical education. "That makes it all worthwhile," McNeill said. "When students show that they appreciate what they have learned and desire to learn more.. .it is a good feeling," she added. Through community support, administrative support and church support, the Hoke music program has soared. "We could not have done it without their encouragement and help," McNeill said. Although McNeill said she was "pleased" with the educational program she was quick to add that "it could get better." "We are constantly searching for new ways of musical advance ment," McNeill said. "1 am very grateful and proud of the accomplishments we have made through the years. I am look ing forward to many more in the future," she added.
