Instrument Check-out for Summer:

We have already assigned all school owned instruments for next year and are ready to send them home for the summer. Mrs. Ferris sent an email out with details. We must receive a signed school-owned instrument agreement back with the usage fee (cash or check payable to WGHSBBA) to take the instrument home. All instruments must be picked up before Wednesday 5/21. Otherwise, we have to move them to storage for the summer since Rogers will be closed. Outgoing 8th graders attending high school band will be able to check an instrument out during marching clinics.
