The Pensacola Delta Enrichment Center expects that the impact of the Warrington Arts Development Project on the youth participants will be positive growth in academic proficiencies, social skills and behaviors and an increase of school pride and unification for Warrington Middle School students. Additionally, they anticipate increased support and advocacy for the School through participation in PTA and potential to establish a band Booster Club. Research has found that students with high arts involvement performed better on standardized achievement tests than students with low arts involvement. Students who take music in middle school score significantly higher on algebra assignments in 9th grade. Schools with music programs have an estimated 90.2% graduation rate and 93.9% attendance rates compared to schools without music education, which average 72.9% graduation and 84.9% attendance rates. Nearly 23% of the residents of this area are under the age of 18, and are in need of activities that will provide them supervision, structure, and most importantly cultural expression. With these statistics, it is critical to provide resources to the community for its children. It is the hope of the PDEC that through exposing the Warrington Middle School Band students to a diverse set of musical practitioners, the students will be taught and inspired to pursue the arts in the future.
