Supplies
The following items are required at every concert band
rehearsal:
Brass - valve oil or slide grease, all music, pencil, necessary
mutes
Woodwinds - 2 extra working reeds, swab, all music, pencil.
Percussion - Necessary mallets and sticks, mallet bag, all
music, pencil.
Not having all of the above items at every rehearsal (including
section rehearsals) can result in points being deducted from the
six weeks grade. Reed players - always have at least three good
reeds. Don't ever wait until you have only one or two reeds left
to go buy reeds!

Lessons
The directors will always strive to
give as much individual attention to each student, but time
constraints, and the size of a band program, the directors do not
reach each individual as often as needed. The success of every
outstanding band program depends on the quality of the players as
well as the determination of the band students to give that extra
effort. Top school band programs across the state typically have
large numbers of the students studying privately. Excellent
private teachers take the student to the next level, many times
teaching finer points that will never be covered in a class
setting. Contact your director for help locating a private
teacher.
