Hip Hip Hooray! Our New Instruments Have Arrived! 🎺🎶

Exciting news for our school band, our brand-new instruments have finally landed! Mrs Thomsen is so thrilled she’s spending her weekend getting everything finalised for a fantastic start with our new intake.

While our new instruments and cases are looking shiny and brand new, our senior band members might like to give their instruments a little extra care this week. A quick clean makes a big difference!

🎵 Mouthpieces

• Soak in warm, soapy water for a few minutes.
• Clarinet mouthpieces can be gently cleaned with an old soft toothbrush.

🎵 Cases

• Empty them out and give them a quick vacuum.
• Wipe the outside with a damp cloth.
• Make sure everything is completely dry before putting instruments back inside.
• Please don’t leave cases or instruments out in the Australian sun.

🎵 Instrument Bodies

• Use your blue polishing cloth to shine the outside – no cleaning fluids needed.
• Trumpet players can oil their valves.

• Clarinet players can apply a little cork grease as needed.

   

A clean instrument not only looks great - it plays better too! We can’t wait to hear our band sound better than ever this term. 🎶
