You will get a homeroom after dinner to change in and keep your stuff in. Percussion MUST provide any sticks or mallets. I will have all large percussion including two snare drums. Any "toys" that your kids need to play, I ask that they bring them. Let me know if you need something because we probably have it for you to use. |

Kid Helpers: I will have 5 kids walking around able to help all day. They will be able to direct you anywhere or get anything you need.
Music: Please remind your kids to bring their music. I do have a copy machine that I can run off copies if need be but lets avoid that. Whoever has originals of the pieces, please bring them as backup incase there are parts that need to be run off due to something being cut off in the copies sent out.
