Many students earned the ability to take their instruments home today. They have been given specific instructions on how to assemble and care for their instrument. If something were to go wrong this weekend please do not bring any tools to an instrument. Make arrangements to get it back in its present condition so we can assist. Tuba/Euphonium families they will be ready next week so enjoy your last week of a quieter house.
If they have their instrument then they are working on stabilizing their first sounds. Enjoy these early moments. I swear it gets better!
