If you haven't gotten your instrument yet, there are a few ways to do it. 

#1 - Rent Online and have it delivered

• Music & Arts - Click Here
• Williamson Music - Click Here

We STRONGLY suggest getting your instrument from a music store.  Instruments bought at places that sell other things don’t usually have a repair shop.  The brands that you will get from Amazon / Wal-Mart most of the times CAN’T be repaired.  We have had people that have gone through 3 different instruments in a year because they can’t be repaired.  As MUCH as we teach the students to be careful, there will be times where the instrument needs to be repaired. Renting from a local music store comes with insurance.  So, when the instrument gets accidentally damaged, the costs are covered.  There are a few good online stores to rent from. Please feel free to email/call your band director and see what they think.

#2 - Come to the band hall on Wednesday, August 14th.  Anytime between 5 and  8 PM Williamson Music Company will be in the band hall and will be able to help you get everything that you need

#3 - PERCUSSION PLAYERS - The best way to get your equipment is online.  Click Here

#4 - You can go to a local music store and rent in person.  The closest one to us is McKay Music Company.  Download our Recommended Instrument List and take it with you to make sure you get a quality instrument.

We will start working with instruments the second week of school!!! So, if you don't have your instrument by August 25, you might not be allowed to stay in band class.

The binder fee pays for everything else that you need for band class. The biggest cost is the band book.  The fee is going to be due by September 15.  It is as follows:

• Flute Players - $22
• Double Reed Players (Oboe, Bassoon) - $23
• Clarinet Players - $18
• Sax, Trumpet, French Horn, Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba Players - $14
• Percussion Players - $7

Click here for a breakdown of his fee.  English  - Spanish - Be sure to look at the correct page. There is one page for beginners and one page for advanced band (7th and 8th graders)

f you play on a school owned instrument (oboe, basson, bass clarinet, tenor sax, bari sax, euphonium, tuba) and you did NOT fill out an instrument loan form last year, click here to get one for the year

If you would like to get a jump on your forms for the year, you can print these off and return them the first day of school

• ​Handbook Acceptance Form - (English - Spanish)
  • Make sure you do all of the things on that form. It will be checked.
• Instrument Use Form - If needed
• Private Lesson Form - If needed
• Private Lesson Scholarship Form - If needed - (English - Spanish)

We will have our ONE AND ONLY parent meeting for the YEAR on

• Thursday, August 29

• McDonald Cafeteria

LOTS of information about what to expect for the year.  Please make plans now to be there.  It will take less than an hour.  Most likely, about 30-40 minutes
