Students in Concert Band, Symphonic Band, and Wind Ensemble will need the following supplies and equipment:
Tuner and Metronome
Korg TM-60 with Clip On Microphone
or
Korg TM-70 with Clip On Microphone
(Students may use the clip on tuner we previously asked for, but will also need a metronome. When we made the switch last year we planned on students using their phones as a metronome. We did not anticipate phones being banned in schools completely)
Flip folder (all instruments) and a lyre (clarinet, sax, trumpet, euphonium, and trombone – be sure to specify large bore for f-attachment trombones)
These will be used for our football game, fall concert, and pep rally performances.

Band Folder will provided to all students when school begins in August. No cost.
