Pre-Band Camp Supplies

 Hi Marching Band Families,

A brief follow-up for students attending marching band camp in the coming weeks. Your student must provide their own: 

  • Lyre: best purchased in-person at music store where student can ensure fit
    • Schafer's House of Music: 113 W Grand River Rd, Howell, MI 48843
    • Meridian Winds (HHS's own vendor): 2807 Jolly Rd #300, Okemos, MI 48864
    • Online at: wwbw.com (allow excess time for shipping)
  • Flip Folder (flutes: lyre and flip folder are combined)
  • Folio Pages - begin with at least 15-20
  • Rubber bands - to hold folio pages in place and flip between tunes
  • Instrument necessities: neck strap, EXTRA reeds, cork grease, valve oil, slide cream, slide grease, etc. 
At registration August 7, each student will receive a highlighter and pencil for the season. Additional utensils brought are highly encouraged in the event of misplacement. Please see packing list for additional belongings. 


Thank you for taking care of these items so we can be prepared and ready to march! :-)
