Segregated schooling in Florida was initially a concession to gain public acceptance of free public education. Its effects can be seen in the band programs of many high school bands. This study looks at the effects of segregation and integration on bands at black high schools in Jacksonville, Florida (Duval County Public Schools). Much of the story echoes the history of Tampa’s desegregation, though Duval County’s age, location, demographics, and politics helped shape a different story. The story of the bands’ origins highlights some noteworthy directors, including the distinguished Kernaa D. McFarlin of the Stanton High School band. This study describes how the Stanton band would shatter prejudices about black schools by becoming the first black high school band to earn a Superior rating at state in a newly integrated Florida Bandmasters Association in 1966. Lawsuits compelled the district to integrate, though traditions and prejudices led to massive white flight from the public schools which continues today. The black student population became the majority demographic in 2006, and musical traditions reflecting those at many Historically Black Colleges and Universities are now the “tradition” at many formerly all-white high schools.

隔离和融合对佛罗里达州杜瓦尔县历史悠久的黑人高中的影响

佛罗里达州的隔离教育最初是为了让公众接受免费公共教育。它的效果可以在许多高中乐队的乐队节目中看到。这项研究着眼于隔离和融合对佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔黑人高中（杜瓦尔县公立学校）的乐队的影响。大部分故事都与坦帕废除种族隔离的历史相呼应，尽管杜瓦尔县的年龄、位置、人口统计和政治有助于塑造一个不同的故事。乐队起源的故事突出了一些值得注意的导演，包括著名的 Stanton 高中乐队的 Kernaa D. McFarlin。这项研究描述了斯坦顿乐队如何打破对黑人学校的偏见，成为 1966 年在新成立的佛罗里达州乐队指挥协会中获得州级高级评级的第一支黑人高中乐队。尽管传统和偏见导致了诉讼，但该地区仍被迫整合到今天仍在继续的公立学校的大规模白人逃亡。黑人学生在 2006 年成为大多数人口统计数据，反映许多历史悠久的黑人学院和大学的音乐传统现在已成为许多以前全白人高中的“传统”。
