Marching Uniform Care - Dry Cleaning
Have you checked your child's uniform yet? Is it dirty, does it smell bad, or does it look like it needs freshening up?
Heritage Cleaners in downtown Marshall is where our uniforms go to get dry cleaned. If you need to have your child's uniform dry-cleaned and cannot afford the cost, please contact Mr. Root.

Meyer Music Step-Up Instrument Rental Meeting
Your student’s beginning instrument was an excellent start to their musical journey and a Step-Up instrument will allow them to advance even further! Step-Up instruments are crafted from high-end woods and metals, providing students with improvements in tone, as well as additional features (such as extra keys) to assist with response and technique.
Meyer Music representatives will be at Marshall High School in the Band Room on Tuesday, November 7 from 6:00pm-7:00pm to assist students and their families that are interested in play testing and learning more about Step-Up instruments.
Meyer Music offers Step-Up instruments as rent-to-own, with monthly payment plans.
If you are currently on Meyer's rent-to-own plan, you can trade in your student-level instrument and apply 100% of your accumulated rental credit toward a Step-Up of the same instrument, continuing the rent-to-own plan on this upgraded instrument, or you can purchase it outright.
If you have already paid off your rented student instrument, or if you purchased it outright from Meyer Music, you can trade it in towards a Step-Up of the same instrument, with a portion of your purchase credit applying toward the rent-to-own plan, or an outright purchase.
Meyer covers all repairs and maintenance to keep your instrument in optimal condition while you are on the rent-to-own plan, and a Meyer rep comes to your school weekly to pick up instruments that are in need of repair or service.
Of course, if the time or situation is not appropriate for you to change instruments now, we certainly understand and are committed to helping provide your student with the best music education possible, no matter their instrument.
Please fill out this short form if you are either planning to attend the event on Tuesday, November 7, or if you are unable to attend, but are interested in more information regarding your options from a Meyer representative: https://forms.gle/9SYVADtoFNvjCjpn7 -- We encourage you to attend and talk to the representatives, if at all possible.
If you have any questions or would like to talk to me directly, please reach out and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
