The woodwinds were thrilled to get fresh, high-quality reeds to keep their instruments sounding great, while the brass players immediately put the new valve oil and slide care kits to work to keep their horn keys and slides moving smoothly. Our percussion section was equally excited to dive into the new gear and accessories, which have added so much energy and color to our music!\r\n\r\nHaving proper, reliable equipment allows all of our students and sections to focus on learning music at a high level without being held back by worn-out gear.
