How do I keep up with my instrument?
Your instrument must have your name on the OUTSIDE of the case. That way we can help you identify it. Place your instrument in the same slot everyday. Write down your serial number and keep it at home. We will also keep a record of it. CLEAN YOUR INSTRUMENT! It keeps the band hall from being too stinky!!Back to Top
