Instrument Storage:
Instrument Storage at Moore Square is limited. Instrument storage will be provided as best as I can. I will start with larger school instruments, brass, saxophone, and eventually flutes and clarinets. Instrument loaner agreement or personal property waver forms must be completed in order to have an instrument storage locker. **Instrument storage space in the instrument room is assigned based on this form - without a form, no space can be assigned.**
