🎶 Hey 6th Grade Band! 🎶

Make sure you’ve got your instrument ready to go by Tuesday, September 2 ✅

• School instruments are being handed out this week.

• Meyer Music & West Michigan Bands are dropping off instruments all week too.

Starting Tuesday, September 2… we PLAY every day in class! 🥁🎺🎷

Let’s be ready to make some music together! 🎵

🎶 Thinking About Rejoining Band? Now's the Time! 🎶

Did you have a friend take a break from band and miss being part of the music, the energy, and the community? We want them back!

If you know someone who used to be in band and is thinking about returning — even just a little bit — send them to Mr. Weber or Mr. Nabozny ASAP. We’ll help get them back on track and back in the band family.

Let’s make music together again — it’s never too late to return to the Cedar Springs Band! ❤️🖤🥁🎺

🎺 Instrument Info for the 2025-2026 School Year 🎷

7th and 8th Grade Band students will need to have their instruments ready to go on Thursday, August 21—don’t forget!

🎶 New 6th Grade Band Members – Welcome! You have a few great options to get your instrument:

• Rent-to-Own from Meyer Music or West Michigan Band
  You can rent online through their websites and have the instrument delivered directly to the school. It’s convenient and reliable! Rent-to-own instrument will be yours in three years, and all repairs and maintenance are covered during the rental period.

• Use a Personal Instrument you already own
  We recommend trusted brands like Yamaha, Conn, Jupiter, Selmer, and Bach. If you’re unsure about the brand or instrument quality, please check with a director.

• Use a School Instrument
  We have French Horns and Baritones available, as well as a limited collection of other instruments. These will be distributed during the first two weeks of school on a first-come, first-served basis, based on need.

🎵 No student should ever be without access to instrumental music. If you need help getting an instrument, we will make it happen. You belong here, and we’ll make sure you have what you need to succeed.

Questions? Reach out to your band director—we're here to help!
