Hello New Students / Parents!

With the new year quickly approaching, I would like to welcome you to our band program. We look forward to having you in the band class and hope that you are also excited to be a part of our band. Band is a regularly scheduled class in the 6th grade that meets during Encore time. 

To be a part of the band program at Cedar Creek students must provide their own instrument and book. We will have a meeting on September 16th at CCMS at 6:30 PM for students to rent or purchase instruments.  You do not have to wait until this meeting to rent or purchase your instrument. Please feel free to visit one of the music stores below any time. We will begin playing on September 20th so you have some time before you need an instrument in class, but don’t wait until the last minute! 

New band members are allowed to choose from one of the following instruments: flute, clarinet, trumpet, or trombone. Furthermore, to be successful, all students should purchase their own copy of “Tradition of Excellence – Volume 1” specific to the instrument they choose.

I’ve listed below several vendors that you can go through to acquire instruments in time for this year's band class. These vendors may also offer deals where a couple of lessons may be thrown in with the initial cost of the instrument, so be sure to check with them! This is a quick and easy way to get your child started off quickly, and is a huge benefit as we want them to be as successful as possible. 

Please feel free to call or visit these dealers about the purchase or rental of an instrument for your child. You can also visit these store’s websites and rent your instrument to be delivered to your home. Please contact me before you try and buy your instrument from amazon or a similar source to make sure you buy a quality instrument.
