Below you will find a list of what your student needs for band! If you need any help, please do not hesitate to reach out to Mr. Marsh! All instrument supplies are available through our partner music stores and other online marketplaces, however I have them linked through a music specific website I like called Sweetwater. If you have questions about specialty equipment (jazz mouthpieces, drumset sticks, etc) please ask Mr. Marsh for assistance. Band supplies are cumulative and will last a long time if properly taken care of, so make sure you save your items from year to year!
