How do we get an instrument?
The easy way:
Parents/Guardians for band students will come to our Instrument Night on April 6, 2021. They will meet with Meyer Music staff to purchase or rent-to-own. The Instrument Night for Orchestra will be held in the fall.
Another option:
Parents/Guardians can purchase an instrument on their own. There are many used instruments available. We always recommend coming to the Instrument Night first to have all the information. We also recommend emailing one of us before making a purchase. We want to help you get the right kind of instrument.

Yes. Band and Orchestra are full year classes.
Will we have performances?

In band, we will have some clarinet players switch to the saxophone, some trumpet players switch to French horn, and some trombone players switch to tuba.
In orchestra, switching instruments is less common.
