This is a great option. If your child already has a flute, clarinet, trumpet, sax, or trombone, you are good to go. Please email me if you would like to confirm the condition of the instrument.

Email me at ccook@solake.org

That’s ok, we have instruments at the school. (First-come, first-served) I will make sure your child has an instrument for band class. Email me at ccook@solake.org if you fall into this category.
