To the Editor:
Your May 29 issue again had wonderful coverage of Hillsboro High School athletics, including the full page congratulating the Trojans going to state. We have a great athletic program, and these high school students deserve to be recognized. But, I wonder, where was the full page spread and similar coverage honoring the high school students who went to the state music competitions? And for the band's accomplishments at Branson?
Undoubtedly, athletics are important in the lives of our high school students and help them grow and be well-grounded. But, in my opinion, the arts, including music, are just as important, and more emphasis and recognition should be given to that program in our community and the local news media.
