Band supply list
2022-2023 School Year
Please read carefully: there are some changes to the supply list from years past.
Below is a list of items that students will need throughout the year in band. Both Beacock Music and Music World will have most of these items in stock.
All band students should have the following items each class
Note for 6th Grade Band students: please make sure to have a pencil and a 3-ring binder. You will not need to worry about instruments and music accessories until after the school year starts. Mr. Sanchez will help you and your families through the instrument selection and rental process, so don't worry. :-)
Additionally, depending on their instrument, students should have the following:
Flute: Cleaning rod and cloth. Our local music stores have cleaning kits available for purchase that contain all of these items.
All clarinets and saxophones: silk cleaning swab, cork grease, neckstrap (sax and bass clarinet only)
Trumpet, horn, baritone/euphonium, tuba: Cleaning equipment (snake, mouthpiece brush, valve brush), valve oil, and tuning slide grease. Our local music stores have cleaning kits available for purchase that contain all of these items.
Trombone: Cleaning equipment (snake and mouthpiece brush), tuning slide grease, slide oil or cream, and a small spray bottle. Our local music stores have cleaning kits available for purchase that contain most of these items.
Percussion: SD1 drumsticks (regular or junior size), medium yarn mallets (I recommend Mike Balter BB2 medium blue yarn mallets), medium rubber mallets (I recommend Vic Firth M5 mallets), a 6” or larger practice pad, and a stick bag (to safely store sticks and mallets in). All other mallets and beaters will be provided.
Percussionists need to rent a percussion kit, which includes a set of bells, rubber mallets, drum sticks, and a practice pad. Note: 6th Grade percussionists will only need a percussion kit to start.
All band students should have the following items each class
- Band book: Sound Innovations for Concert Band (Book 1 for 6th Grade; Book 2 for 7th Grade. 8th Graders will not need to purchase a band book at the beginning of the year).
- Instrument (Beacock Music offers online rental service)
- For woodwind instruments: 1 box of reeds (2.5 strength)
- 1.5" 3-ring binder for Band
- Pencil
- Music folder with music (will be provided in class)
- For home use only, all bands: music stand. There are a variety of options, so make sure to visit a music store to see what will work best for your budget.
