Recruitment video
Recruitment video
We are always wanting to grow our program, and YOUR voice is what matters the most. Help build our program by creating a recruitment video to share with elementary and middle school students. Here is your (optional, but helpful) task:
Create a video that answers one or all of the questions below. I will compile the videos and use them as a recruitment tool throughout the year. Once you have recorded yourself, send it to me via email. Here are the questions/topics to answer:
Why do you like being in band?
Why do you like playing an instrument?
What opportunities has band given you that other activities can't?
Why should others join band?
Send your videos to emily.brabant@ridgefieldsd.org
