Sign up to try an instrument! An instrument screening is a 15 minute appointment where a band director will work with your child to find the perfect instrument for them. This is required of all new band students.
Complete the Student Pre-Screening Survey! This online form will allow us to get to know your child better and prepare for their screening. It is easy to complete and can be done anywhere from any device.
Attend the Instrument Screening! This is the best part! Your child will work with one of the band directors to test as many instruments as they want, including percussion. Then, we will help your child narrow down their instrument selections to their top 2 choices.
