There is ample room in both the Band and Orchestra rooms for each student's instrument during the school day.  On days that students bring their instrument to school, they should go directly to the Band or Orchestra room to store their instrument before going to their locker.  Each student has his/her own storage area in the rehearsal room and the assignments are posted on the wall near to where they will store the instrument.       

For easy identification purposes, the student’s name must be clearly visible on the instrument case.  Students sometimes misplace their instrument and this provides us with a quick way of rejoining a lost instrument with its owner.  Keep a record of the model number and serial number at home.  In the event that your child may pick up the wrong instrument on the way out of school, this will provide you with a way of identifying the instrument should it be placed in the wrong case (many instruments can look alike from the same company).  Check your homeowner’s policy for loss coverage.  Farnsworth Middle School is not responsible for lost or stolen property.
