The following materials and equipment are required for participation in the 7th and 8th grade bands for the new school year. You probably have many of the supplies listed, but it is worth checking to make sure everything is in good usable condition.
Many of these items can be purchased from your favorite online retailer, or locally at Music and Arts or Brook Mays.
Every Woodwind and Brass student (No percussion), will need a “Tuner and Pick-up”. This can also be purchased online or locally, and can come from many different brands, and be many different shapes and sizes. The below is just an example, but depending on the time of year, can go in and out of stock frequently. In our experience, almost all tuner/pickup combos are effective, and operate equally to each other.
