General Information
Woodwind Lyres
Woodwinds will need to order marching lyres and/or flip folders for marching band. Please see the links below to order; the links take you to the Ward-Brodt website, and they will deliver these items every Wednesday.
Flute
You need to order a Flutist's Friend (hint: they're not friendly) which has both lyre AND flip folder attached.
Clarinet
You need to get a clarinet lyre. The school will provide a flip folder to hold your music.
Saxophone
All saxophones need to get a lyre, but make sure to get the right one for your instrument! You'll need to know the brand of your saxophone. Then, get the correct lyre (Yamaha vs. non-Yamaha). The school will provide a flip folder to hold your music.

Earplugs
Prolonged exposure to sound over 70 dB may start to damage your hearing. Loud noise above 120dB can cause
immediate harm to your ears. We frequently work in the 100-125 db range.
To protect your hearing, you can get some relatively inexpensive ear plugs here.
