			<h2>MUSIC EDUCATION</h2>		
		<p>The primary goal of <strong>Orchid City Brass Band’s</strong> wide array of education programs is to inspire students to begin or continue playing an instrument. We recognize the extensive research that has proven that music education provides academic benefits, increases attendance rates and improves life and thinking skills for all students, regardless of socioeconomic status, preparing them for success in school, work and life.</p><p>In a typical year, members of Orchid City serve thousands of elementary, middle and high school students from over 200 schools in Palm Beach County school districts through a combination of programs, including free student tickets to Orchid City concerts, musician classroom visits, and school or camp residencies.</p>
