6th Grade Band Instrument Information!

PictureBand Supply List
Once you have joined Band, the first step is to schedule your Final Instrument Fitting with the band directors by using the link to signup.com that we are emailing parents and posting in CTLS. 

Once your fitting is complete, it is time to go get what you need!  We will begin instruction with instruments on September 8th. 

Visit the music dealer of your choice & acquire the following:
  • Instrument Listed on the Final Instrument Selection Email
  • Essential Elements for Band Book 1 (Instrument Specific)
  • Instrument Specific Supplies listed on the Dodgen Band Supply List

​It is recommended that you buy or rent from a dealer that specializes in musical instruments and that they are able to service what they sell.  Purchasing from individuals is another option, although we recommend that you bring the instrument to the band directors or to a music dealer to determine its current playing condition and check for needed adjustments or repairs.

To avoid damage to the instrument or development of bad habits, please avoid putting the instrument together or attempting to play before specific instruction from the band directors during the week after Labor Day!

If you need any assistance in acquiring an instrument for your child, please email Mr. Jeffres or Mr. Westphal.
