This document describes an action research project conducted by an orchestra director to address issues of lack of uniformity, pride, and proper technique among students. The director implemented a 5-point plan including clinicians, parental involvement, new materials, t-shirts, and teacher accountability. Surveys found that while some students liked uniforms and saw their value, others did not and felt their individual style was important. The director concluded they need to better explain the importance of uniformity to students and get parents more involved to set an example of pride in the program. Going forward, the director will solicit more student input and focus on recruitment to continue improving the orchestra.
