5th Grade Band Informational Meeting for parents - Wednesday, January 27, 2010 at 7:00pm in the band room




Instruments to choose from:

a limited amount of percussion players will be accepted - on a first come, first served basis! Please be prepared to choose an alternate instrument if you do not get to play percussion. Percussion players will learn all drums and mallet instruments (xylophone)



Instruments may be rented/purchased from Rettig Music. You can contact them through their website or by phone: 1-800-52-MUSIC. A representative from Rettig's will be at the parents' meeting on January 27th to take sign-ups for instrument rental or purchase.


PLEASE do not purchase your instrument from a discount retailer like Wal-Mart. These instruments are cheaply made and often cannot be repaired! Likewise, buying off of Ebay is a huge risk. Please check with ms. Hare before spending any money on a questionable purchase. If you are looking at a used instrument to by, you can bring it to the band room at any time and we can check it out and make sure it is a good instrument.



We will be using the Standard of Excellence band book (red). You can purchase this through Rettig Music, or pre-order a copy through Ms. Hare in the band room.



Any questions, please contact Ms. Hare:
Your first name:

Your Son/Daughter's name
