Our new music stands are already being used every day in our band and orchestra classes. With so many students in our instrumental music program this year, we really needed additional stands so that students would not have to share.\r\n\r\nThe students were excited to see the new stands in the classroom and, of course, immediately wanted to use the brand new ones! Having enough stands may seem like a small thing, but it makes such a difference in how smoothly our rehearsals run. Students can get their instruments and music, find their seats, and be ready to play.\r\n\r\nWe are just getting started with instruments for the school year, and our students are working on building their skills and preparing music for our upcoming performances. These stands will be used every day by our band and orchestra students for many years.
