(2) Parental involvement activities in all categories are perceived by school administrators, band directors, students and their parents as important to the success of individual student success and total band program success. (3) The activities in which parents are involved were revealed by this study to have developed over time due to a perception by the parents that these specific activities were expected by the school and the child and were, therefore, important. (4) Band directors in this study had specific expectations for parental involvement that commonly were not being communicated to all the parents on a regular basis.

(5) There is a difference in the quantity and quality of parental involvement activities identified by this study among students judged to be above average, average, and below average in musical achievement. (6) Parents of students who dropped band were not as supportive of their child's participation in band; they were similar in the type and degree of involvement with their child to the parents of students who were judged as below average. (7) Parents of band students, especially those who were judged to be below average by the band director, were desirous of more information concerning the musical strengths and weaknesses of their child and what they might do to help their child.
