Class Supplies

Please make sure your child has the following items with them as they begin the new school year. This is organized by grade and by instrument. 

NON-pERCUSSIONISTS

6TH GRADE BAND

Habits of a Successful Beginner Band Musician

Continue to bring Traditions of Excellence (Book 1) if you have it. This was last year's book. We are phasing out this one. 

NOTE: 6th Grade non-percussionists are using two books for a reason. The Habits Book is to be played in full band rehearsals. The Student Instrumental Course is to be used during their 1:1 weekly lesson.
