Required supplies for ALL Symphonic Band students:
1 in. BLACK Binder (no larger or smaller in size and only black in color)
*This binder is for band only—binder is not to be shared with other classes.
1 Zipper Binder Pouch
*This will remain inside the binder at all times and will hold pencils and other accessories for students’ instruments.
20 Wooden or Mechanical Pencils (put inside binder pouch)
Instrument specific supplies (see below for each instrument)
*Your student may already have some of these from last year. Please replace supplies if damaged, lost, or any part of the supply is broken.
(Optional but highly recommended: Metronome & Tuner Combo)
cleaning rod (if your child has lost theirs)
cleaning cloth (if your child lost theirs)
reeds (check with your child or Mrs. Ballard to know what size to order)
General Supplies
lyre (for clarinets only)
cleaning swab (for clarinets only)
Reeds (check with your child or Mrs. Ballard to know what size to order)
flip-folder (I will have the lyre for your mellophone.)
flip-folder & lyre (It says it's a flute lyre, but that is what you need. Mrs. Ballard will explain in class.)
I have all of the sticks and mallets students need at school for them to use. The bell kits from Beginning Band should have given them sticks as well. The sticks linked below are a better quality and identical to what we use in class. They are not required for purchase but optional.
