Dana DeGroot and family: UW’s Wiley must be complaining about a different band

Dear Editor: In regard to the article, “Watch your step, Wiley warns band,” we are appalled at the reactions and comments by Chancellor John Wiley.

….Our daughter currently in the band has developed a great work ethic, morals and social skills that are enhanced by her association with the band program.

In other words, the band is a highly positive and productive program – one of the finest and most successful programs in the UW System.
