Winter Pep-Band

Step Up Instrument Opportunity

Invitation to Play a

Step Up Instrument

We are continuing to improve the quality of our band organization through proven teaching techniques, student participation and Quality instruments. It is the latter that truly accomplishes the first. A first quality Step-up instrument affords a world of advantages to a student.

Almost all students start their band career with a beginner or student grade instrument. Although these instruments are designed to last the student a long time many students will “outplay” them. If this is the case then it’s time to step up to an Intermediate or Professional grade. While there are many brands on the market today, there are a limited number of QUALITY NAME BRANDS. Therefore, we invite you to support our local vendor who stocks fine musical instruments at discount prices.

On THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3rd between 5 and 7:30PM you and your student are invited to stop by Howren Music Company at 929 E. Garrison Blvd. 704-867-2359(across from Hillbillys Barbecue) to view the instruments, play them as much as you wish and ask any questions. Bring your current instrument so you can compare first hand. You will be amazed at the difference. We hope to see you there.

Musically yours,

Nicholas Gibson
