      2. Needed student information (shirt size, etc)
      3. School Instrument Rental Request Form (for those wanting to rent an instrument from the school)
    3. Order the needed supplies for your child’s instrument. You can buy these through the band using the Supply Order Form (cheaper & easier!). The Supply Order Form your grade level can be found on the Useful Band Documents webpage. This can be brought in with check or cash to school starting Tuesday, Aug 13. You can also see the supply list in the Band Handbook and order the supplies yourself from a local or online vendor.

  • CHECK YOUR INFINITE CAMPUS MESSAGE SETTINGS

    *Make sure your Infinite Campus settings allow teacher messages to go straight to your email. Mr. B uses this often for communication (as do many other teachers). Click here for instructions about how to make sure you have this setting enabled.
