Johnston Band Together

Thanks to the generous support of the Johnston Community School Foundation and the Johnston Band Parents Association, the beginning band experience is now more accessible to families who might not be able to financially support the cost of a band instrument. Through our Band Together program, students are able to borrow an instrument, free of charge, throughout their participation in the Johnston band program. Families requesting the use of a free instrument will need to qualify for the free/reduced meals program and will need to have to completed a fee waiver form through the district nutrition services department. Parents will be asked to provide a band book and continuing support at home as the budding young musicians learn to play. If your student wants to give band a try, we want to help out by providing an instrument. Please contact your student's band teacher during the recruitment process or at the beginning of 5th grade if you are interested in this opportunity for your child.
