Otto Band Instrument Night Appointments

Please select a 20-minute time slot for your student's band instrument fitting appointment with a band director. This is REQUIRED in order for a student to be in band.


***PLEASE DRIVE AROUND TO THE BACK OF OTTO USING THE BUS LANE, AND ENTER THROUGH DOOR 21, THE BAND HALL DOORS!***

(The front doors will be locked.)


We are so very excited to meet you and your child! Starting band is such a special time in a child's life!


During this appointment, students can try any or all of the band instruments including: Flute, Oboe, Bassoon, Clarinet, Saxophone, Trumpet, French Horn, Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba, and Percussion!


We will help them create their very first sounds and help them discover the best fit for them! Parents are required to stay with their child for this appointment. Thanks!


If you are unable to attend this evening, we will have two other dates; one in January, one in February, but please remember that this is first come, first served with availability/ class size. (These sign ups will be posted on our website after this instrument night.) Percussion is by audition only and the auditions are only held on instrument nights with a percussion director.


Please reach out if you have any questions, and we will be happy to help! Finances should never be a reason for a child to not participate in band. We have ways to assist! Thank you!
