I think this is a very interesting idea... I believe that it is essential to have each subject correlate to the others. Often times, we are required to play or sing music from the past... We sing it because we have to. We are not told anything about the pieces. Usually pieces are written by feelings or something in the past that inspired them.

It is essential to know the history of something that way it is better prepared for a performance. You can put your whole heart and emotions into the piece that way.

I also agree with Nikki. No subject should be made a higher priority over the others. All are important; however, in today's society, people fail to realize that. They think that only the core subjects are important.

Both Nikki and Chris have excellent ideas, and ones that I think would work well-for only part of the band. As good of an idea as a Robert Frost choir piece may be, it is more than likely that only seniors, for example, would be studying Frost. The rest of the ensemble would be missing out on the experience.
