All students bring instruments to school starting tomorrow, Aug. 15!
Instruments can stay at school until Friday, or students can pick them up to bring home daily. Students can drop instruments off in the storage closet before their first class and can get their instruments after school before 3:25 p.m. or after 4:10 p.m. to allow 8th hour forensics class uninterrupted class time.
Do double check your instrument for maintenance: purchasing a new set of strings and getting the bow rehaired are great ways to start ready to make your best sound!

Investing in your instrument makes playing more rewarding and instills a sense of pride in one’s performance. Make sure you maintain your instrument, especially by getting the bow rehaired once per year and getting a quality set of strings (like D’Addario, Dominant, or Pirastro) every 1-2 years.
If it’s time for a step-up instrument, make sure to reach out to Mrs. Martinez for input before you make the purchase for advice on what to look for!
