Required Materials
All students need their method book, Tradition of Excellence, and a music stand for practicing at home. Woodwind players need at least two extra reeds, cork grease, and instrument swab. Brass players need to make sure they have valve oil and slide grease in their case at all times. Students should also keep a pencil in their case or band folder.
Middle school and high school students who participated in instrumental music performances scored significantly higher than their non-band peers in standardized tests.
