Please read all of the information below.
1) After a very productive meeting held today, instrument repairs and piano tunings are once again operational. You may continue to submit district-owned instruments for repairs. Please only submit instruments that are county-owned.
2) It is critical for all band and orchestra directors to submit your instrument inventory. I know some of you have submitted your inventories already; however, I need you to submit again in Excel with the following information (does not have to be in this order):
Brand, instrument, serial number, condition, estimated time of purchase, estimated remaining life cycle of instrument
If your inventory has more information than this, that will be fine; however, it is important that your inventory contains this information. Right now, I am not concerned with music inventories as the instrument inventory is the most pressing issue at the moment. It is crucial that you present an accurate account of your instruments and their conditions. In regard to conditions, please do not send terms such as “fair, good, etc.” I need your most accurate assessment of the remaining life cycle in terms of years for that particular instrument.
3) HS marching band directors: Please begin submitting your marching band repairs. You will need to have all marching band repairs submitted by June 15 to get them back on time. As of now, we are going to be using Moore Music and Jackson’s Music to handle repairs for the summer. This will be considering that Jackson’s Music holds up the current agreement. If we can seal this deal, I will be forwarding you a procedure guide and what locations’ instruments will be sent to either Jackson’s or Moore.
4) I will be sending an e-mail out regarding piano tuning as well.
Thanks for attention to these items as they are most important right now.
