Woodwinds: Each student should have at least three good reeds of appropriate strength at all times. Check with the director if you are unsure as to the reed strength that you should be using. Each student should have a clean-out swab appropriate to their instrument to be kept in the case and used after playing the instrument.

Brass: Each student should have valve or rotor oil appropriate for his or her instrument. Trombone players should have slide cream and a misting bottle with them to keep their slides moving smoothly.

Percussion: Each student should have a pair of drumsticks, bell kit, and practice pad or snare drum. Tympani sticks and auxiliary percussion mallets and beaters will be provided.

All Students -- Appropriate lesson books. We use both the Essential Elements and Suzuki series. Students should have the correct book corresponding to their placement on the achievement chart. Achievement chart positions will be determined at the first sectional, books will be assigned, and students will be expected to have those books within one week.
