BEGINNING BAND

Welcome new 6th Grade students and parents to
 Cedar Valley. 
 
Instrument and Music Supply List 
      *It is very important that you do not attempt to play the instrument if you get it during the Summer.  There are some very bad habits that you can develop really easily.  It is better to wait until school starts to start playing your instrument.
