FAQ
Instruments: Instrument checkout will take place August 20th at OCHS. If you are a returning musician, please note that you will need to be here during that time to check out a school instrument.
If you are using your own instrument, please double check that you have enough reeds, valve oil, cork grease, neck strap, and your instrument is working well. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL BAND CAMP! Get to a music store ASAP if you need supplies or repairs.
New members with the band will need to purchase an appropriate lyre and Flip Book for their instrument. This includes flute players. Please ask Mr. Henson if you need assistance finding the right lyre. Please bring to Band Camp.
All members are required to use a lyre and flip folder for marching band. We will be rehearsing music outside often, so lyres and flip folders are a necessity, not an option. Don’t wait until band camp to purchase one.
Uniforms: Our AWESOME uniform moms will measure students for uniforms during the first few days of band camp. All students will be measured during band camp for their uniform, shako, and shoes. New members will be fitted for marching shoes, and we will order the appropriate sizes during the first few days of band camp. Marching shoes are $36.00 and can be paid for using fundraised money.
