RENTING AN INSTRUMENT

If your child plays the flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, or trombone, you will need to personally rent an instrument from a credible instrument vendor, such as The Bandwagon Music Store. For the success of all Brewer Band members, it is imperative that instruments and instrument accessories are in working order every day. Below are instructions on how to rent and order instruments/instrument kits from our preferred vendor.

Booster meetings are open to everyone - you do not have to be a paid member to attend the meeting. There are various ways to volunteer as a band booster such as High School varsity concession stands, hemming dresses/uniforms, volunteering to chaperone, preparing snacks for the marching band, and helping in other hospitality opportunities.  Please contact one of our representatives:

BMS Nick Hale:  bms@brewerband.org

FAA Monica Gutierrez:  faa@brewerband.org

Private lessons are a great way to provide one-on-one instruction that does not happen in the typical band class. These lessons are taught by highly certified instructors who are professionals on your child's instrument! Private lessons are a great way to speed up the learning process and target specific skills for your child!

Lessons are $18.00-$20.00 each for a half hour/half class period. Students may also sign up for a buddy lesson, 2 students in the same band class will take a lesson at the same time for half price. 

 Private lessons are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
