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 families be on the lookout for an email from Mrs. Brinkman to schedule a time to come and pick up a home instrument. Euphoniums will be able to take their instrument home beginning this week!
If they have their instrument then they are working on stabilizing their first sounds. Enjoy these early moments. I swear it gets better!
