6 snare drums with cases
4 trombones
4 saxophones
4 trumpets
2 flutes, and
10 clarinets.
Various other supplies were purchased, as well. This list includes band method books, drumsticks, reeds, and other items needed for cleaning and maintenance.
Band and Chorus is taught together each Friday for 5th and 6th grade students. At the present time we have 20 sixth grade participants and 26 5th grade participants. Students will be learning beginning band content standards.
