Hello 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 back and a part of our band. 

As you know by now, to be a part of the band program at Cedar Creek students must provide their own instrument and book. We do supply instruments for tubas, baritone, and some other background instruments, however those students will also need to purchase their own book

All students should have their own copy of “Tradition of Excellence – Volume 1” specific to the instrument they choose. This was the book from last year so hopefully you can find it. If not, you’ll have to get another as we will use this book for the first half of the year. 

For the second half of the year we will use “Tradition of Excellence - Volume 2” so if you want to go ahead and get this book to try and get ahead that is fantastic.

Our plan for this year is to PLAY! The county is providing us with masks and instrument covers to use to be able to play indoors. Until these arrive though, we will play as much as possible outside. So take that into consideration as you prepare to come to school each day and try to plan for the outdoor temperatures as best you can. I also suggest you think about the shoes you wear as well. Sometimes, especially in the mornings the grass can still be wet. I wouldn’t want your nice new shoes messed up. If you want to bring an extra pair that is fine.

Weather permitting, we will begin playing on Tuesday. So make sure you have your instrument that day! You also might want to play a few notes over the weekend so you’re ready to play.

I’ve listed below several vendors that you can go through to acquire instruments and accessories, or if you need a repair in time for this year's band class. If you need a repair please call ahead so they can schedule a time for you and give you an estimate of when you might get it returned. if you are renting an instrument from that vendor they might give you a loaner until your repair is completed, so ask!
