Picking Your Instrument

Please remember that a band is similar to a football, volleyball or soccer team.  Just like you can't have 11 quarterbacks, setter or goalies on the field at the same time.  We also can't have 40 saxophones and no clarinets.  All instruments are fun and take a similar amount of work to get good at.  Your and will be at its best when we have the right instrumentation. This is why we ask that you place your top three picks just in case some of the others are already taken.  Don't feel bad if you don't get your first pick either.  In 7th grade all band members are in the same classroom and so it won't be long before you get to see your best friend again. And since we meet 5 days a week, you will have plenty of time to catch up on everything you missed back in 6th grade.
