Additionally, books and supplies can be purchased at Amazon or other music stores and websites. If you have any questions about what to buy, please do not hesitate to email Mr. V at cvinciguerra@sau17.net.
If you are in need of a school owned instrument or supplies, please reach out via email. We have a limited supply, and will distribute to those in need on a first come basis.
STORAGE:
Instruments should be brought into school and stored neatly on the band room’s storage shelves. Instruments are allowed to occasionally stay overnight during the week if transportation is an issue. Instruments are NOT allowed to spend a weekend in the music room. All instruments and music binders need to have an ID tag or permanent label on the outside of the case.
Percussion students need only to transport a practice pad, sticks, and mallets to and from school. They will play the school equipment for rehearsals.
Students should bring their instruments to the band room when they enter the building in the morning. If the band room is locked (rare occurrence), students must carry their instrument to their class. No instrument may be left in the hallway at any time.
