WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR INSTRUMENT OVER THE SUMMER

Flutes, Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, Percussion

Are you…..Staying in band --> renting or own your instrument --> keep your instrument over the summer and practice!  Bring your instrument tuner and band binder to the first day of school. It’s a good idea to bring your instrument to your music shop to get a maintenance check up

Are you….NOT staying in band--> renting your instrument --> If you do not want to continue paying for your instrument, you must return it yourself (with parent) to the music shop. They will give you a receipt and stop the monthly payments. *Most importantly, if you are not staying in band and renting from a music shop, it is your responsibility to bring it back to the music shop to stop payment.

Oboe, Bassoon, Tenor Sax, Bari Sax, French Horn, Euphonium, Tuba

Staying in band --> incoming 7th/8th gd school owned instrument --> keep your instrument over the summer and practice! OR if your instrument went to the shop, Mrs. Q will email once it is back and you can pick it up --> bring your tuner, band binder back and instrument to the first day of school.

Staying in band--> 9th grader --> school-owned instrument --> turn in your instrument to Tidwell--> you will get a new instrument from your next band program.

NOT staying in band à school-owned instrument --> you should have already turned in your instrument.
