Welcome back to another year of band! I am very excited to see everyone again and play some great music :-) If you have any questions throughout the year, please don't hesitate to send me an email at andrew.weaver@beavercreek.k12.oh.us.
WELCOME TO 7TH GRADE BAND - We are very excited to welcome our incoming 7th graders to band at Ankeney!
SUPPLIES - Below is a list of supplies needed for band. Many of these are items students should have in class every day in order to participate fully. Students who do not come to class prepared will not earn their daily participation points and receive a mark on their character card. It is very important each student has his/her own materials to participate in class!
Students should come to class EVERY DAY with these items. Having their required materials counts towards their daily participation grade.
0.5" Black Binder
10 clear plastic sheet protectors
Pencil (no pens!)
Essential Elements 2000, book 2 for their instrument
Maintenance Supplies - this includes items like valve oil and slide grease for brass players or cork grease and a swab for woodwinds
At least 3 good reeds - this is for clarinets/saxes/double reeds. Please buy Vandoren (blue box) size 2.5 or 3 for Bb clarinet or Eb alto sax
An instrument in good working condition. Percussionists should have their drumsticks, mallets and stick bag every day.
