When the School District of Philadelphia decided to eliminate their Instrumental Music program, affecting more than 100,000 students, Maureen Brady created a MoveOn Petition to stop them. Nearly 4,500 MoveOn members signed the petition in support of the music program. After the petition was delivered, Superintendent William Hite publicly announced that he would restore the program, bringing itinerant instrumental music teachers back into the classrooms of elementary, middle, and high schools in Philadelphia.
