All children in the 5th grade will be contacted early in the 2016-2017 school year by the band and orchestra teacher at your school. Each 5th grader is then personally interviewed and given assistance in selecting the most suitable instrument.
Parents may rent or purchase an instrument from any reputable music store. Please make arrangements to have your band or orchestra teacher check out an instrument before making a purchase elsewhere. Buying an instrument online is like buying a car online: it may look good in the picture but it is hard to tell how well it will work. For your convenience, there will be music stores at our enrollment night to provide rental instruments. Click on the links below to go to the music sore's websites that will be at our enrollment night.
Band Instruments: Quinlan & Fabish Orchestra Instruments: Cassandra Strings
All 5th grade students interested in playing a band or string instrument must register during one of the enrollment dates and times which are posted below. Parents will also be expected to purchase lesson books and a practice music stand to use at home if you do not have one already.
