if your child did NOT turn in a band sign up form before school ended please fill out this Google Form to sign up for Elementary Band BEGINNER BAND SIGN UP FORM
In King George students can start on : FLUTE, CLARINET, ALTO SAXOPHONE, TRUMPET, TROMBONE, BARITONE OR BELLS.
We DO NOT teach string instrument or piano in Concert Band.
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.
