School Owned Equipment Return
The instrument turn in process is complete when the instrument has been inspected by a director. If there is any damage to the instrument, beyond normal wear and tear, you'll be contacted over the summer with the cost of the repair.
If you'd like to keep your school owned equipment over the summer months, a new loan agreement must be turned in before the instrument is allowed to be taken home for the summer.

Students reflect on their parade experience....
"Disney is by far my favorite band memory. There's nothing like marching down Magic Kingdom's Main Street with your best friends." Michaela Strube, class of 2017
Students reflect on the You're Instrumental Workshop....
"The You're Instrumental clinic was my favorite part of our trip. Our clinician was very charismatic. He taught us about important parts of musicianship and they how brought out our very best. Recording Trashin' the Camp and the Stampede scene from The Lion King were the highlights of the clinic. This was truly a unique musical experience that we will take with us through our musical careers." Oliver Henkel, class of 2018
