- Instrument Step-up Night - Once students reach the high school level, many have outgrown their beginning-level instrument. Students are encouraged to look into "step-up" instruments when they reach high school, as high quality instruments allow students to develop better tone quality, achieve better technique, and play with better intonation. It truly gives them a competitive edge!
If a step up instrument is a possibility for your student in the future, please consider attending the step-up night on 11/18 from 6-8 in the band room. A representative from the Music and Arts Center will be here with many high quality instrument models to try out. All instruments will be represented with the exception of bass clarinet, bassoon, euphonium, tuba, and percussion. (If you play one of those instruments, the school-owned equipment you currently use is already of professional quality!)
