Reply to comment by Pipes_of_Pan in “The mostly low-income kids in the Eastern High School Marching Band” weird title. by Confident_Low_3900

is it true? What is the criteria for rich vs poor? How many members of each group actually fall into that labeled bucket? When did a neighborhood block stop being a community and start being divided into haves and have nots?

This article serves to confirm existing beliefs and biases and not much else.

What more do you want residents from this one geographic area to do other than give back to the school?
