A nice comment in the midst of scary news from the teachers' union president in the newspaper: http://www.magicvalley.com/news/local/article_f0caa7a8-547f-5963-91a4-157b7ac1a220.html
      Jerome High School is located in Jerome, Idaho, the county seat of Jerome County, in south-central Idaho just north of Twin Falls. The Jerome School District consists of six public schools in grades K-12, including three elementary schools, a middle school, and an alternative school. Jerome High School competes in the "4A" division in the Idaho High School Activities Association.

      The Jerome High School Band program is a three-legged stool with a balance of marching, symphonic, and pep band performances (including our fine color guard program). In addition, there are three feeder bands in the middle school: the Concert (8th grade), Intermediate (7th grade), and Beginning Bands (6th grade). There is also a guitar program at JHS, JMS, and Summit Elementary School. The Jerome HS "AMBUSH of TIGERS" marching unit membership has grown by double digits for four consecutive years, the only band in the Northwest which can make that claim.
