F.R.A.P.
What is F.R.A.P.?
F.R.A.P. is an abbreviation of our core values: Family, Responsibility, Attitude, and Pride. They are at the center of the decisions we make and how we conduct ourselves in and outside of the classroom. These values were chosen by the students of the program. They decided how they wanted to carry themselves and what they wanted to be known for. It has built a strong foundation for the program to thrive on and continue to succeed. Read more about how we implement F.R.A.P. on a daily basis below.

PRIDE
- Friendship: We create friendships with one another. You treat everyone with the same respect the way you would treat a friend.
- Acceptance: We put aside differences and personal opinions. We accept one another and treat each other equally.
- Caring: We take care of one another. We always love our band even when we are not getting along.
- Togetherness: We always work together to achieve our best. We are only as strong as our weakest member.
RESPONSIBILITY
- Discipline: We are able to keep ourselves on track. We understand we have a responsibility to ourselves and to each other. We have the discipline to maintain a high work ethic when needed.
- Teamwork: We are not performing alone. We have a responsibility to work with each other. The product we produce together far outweighs the product we can produce alone.
- Respect: We have respect for each other. Without a mutual respect for our fellow ensemble member, we fail our responsibility to the ensemble. Without respect, it is not possible to work in a productive manner and achieve our highest potential.
- Proactive: To be proactive means to be able to anticipate any negative problems within the ensemble and have the capability to solve these issues. It is the job of members to be proactive in all sorts of situations for it is their obligation in creating a greater musical environment.
- Organization: To be organized means to have a formal structure when working. Organized students can successfully carry out and coordinate difficult tasks if they have a system and structure to achieve these. It is the members’ responsibility to build up good organization skills to help create the best band possible.
ATTITUDE
- Optimism: We all have bad days, but we leave that off the field or stage. We are able to stay positive and maintain an attitude that will create a healthy atmosphere to work in.
- Focus: We are able to fully engage ourselves in the activity. A poor or even unenthusiastic attitude will result in a lackluster performance. We are able to achieve energetic attitude that drives our focus. When on or off the field, practice, or performance, ignoring all personal issues and paying full attention to the ensemble and doing your best to make the group better.
- Hard Work: We understand that hard work can be fun. A hard working attitude breeds success and with more success comes more fun, which make us want to work harder.
PRIDE
- Spirit: We have a contagious amount of spirit for ourselves, our school, and our community. No matter what the outcome we are always proud to be a Panther.
- Passion: We love what we do and it shows in every aspect of our activity. Whether it is the final performance of the season or the first stretch of preseason camp, we perform it with passion.
