Here is a link to the Beginner Band Sign Up Form.
There will be two Instrument Preview/Testing dates.
Thursday, July 26 6:00 p.m. at King George High School Auditorium (please enter through the band room.)
Tuesday, July 31 6:00 p.m. at King George High School Auditorium (please enter through the band room.)
If you can not make it to either of these scheduled dates please go to either KBI Music or Roberson's Music in Fredericksburg, Virginia (or an equivalent music store) to try out flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet, baritone, trombone and bells. After the music store representative helps you pick the correct instrument for your child rent an instrument and purchase the "Traditions of Excellence" Book 1 for the instrument they will be renting.
Please do not purchase instruments over the internet or from an individual before coming to an Instrument Preview Event for the following reasons.
1. Many instruments on line are very cheap/poorly made and do not play well or last long. I will let you know which instrument brands are reputable at the Preview.
2. Some kids have their heart set on a certain instrument, but when they come to the preview they either can’t get a sound on that instrument or they actually like another instrument better.
If you have any questions please feel free to email me at gconner@kgcs.k12.va.us.
