Incoming 5th Grade Beginning Band Parent Information
All 5th Grade Students learn a band instrument as part of the 5th grade Music Curriculum
Students may choose one of the following instruments for their beginning band year:
Flute, Clarinet, Trumpet, Trombone, Percussion, or Electric Bass Guitar
*Note: Only two percussion students per year. Two students have already signed up for the two percussion spots for 2018-2019
Families must obtain an instrument for student to use for 5th grade.
OPTIONS: Borrow an HFS band instrument (flute, clarinet, trumpet or trombone) $30 covers the entire school year!
HFS band instruments are worn but are in well maintained, working condition.
Rent a "like new" instrument from B-Natural Music in Bonney Lake, or Ted Brown Music. (multiple locations). Rental fee is paid monthly via credit card. Monthly fee ranges from $15 to $30 a month depending on the instrument and if it used or new. Most of the rental payment is applied to purchase. The rental fee also covers replacing the instrument if it needs a repair during the rental period.
Students who want to play electric bass guitar must purchase their own bass guitar, with a case. Bass guitar students will also need to purchase a small practice bass amplifier to keep at home for practice. B-Natural Music, Ted Brown Music and Guitar Center are all excellent places to purchase a guitar. Student should try holding the bass guitar in the store to be sure the instrument is a comfortable size.

ARE YOU THINKING OF PURCHASING A NEW INSTRUMENT? There are many low cost instruments that are not suitable for student musicians. If you are considering purchasing a new instrument .. please email dreitan@hfsauburn.com before you purchase! An instrument purchased through Amazon, Ebay, Musician's Friend or Brass and Woodwind internet sites can be an excellent choice.. but ask for advice about the brand of instrument to purchase. Music instruments are expensive. Low cost new instruments generally become unplayable before the year is through.
