WLMS Beginner Tuba Registration

To get started, please follow all of the steps outlined in this newsletter.

Parents who complete this process prior to July 1 will receive two major benefits:

1. A discounted band fee (fee will increase after July 1)

2. All of your child's supplies will be ready and waiting in their locker by the first day of school. They will not start behind!

Payments are made through your CutTime account, which will come to you through text message and email.

You may pay in increments to help make payments more manageable and participation more accessible. We also have sponsors/scholarship assistance available to students in need. This requires a short application, which is available upon request.

We want every student have the opportunity to be part of our band program—don’t hesitate to reach out for assistance!

Our private lesson program is huge - many of our students are enrolled in a private lesson for one-on-one instruction with a specialist once a week. We have limited staff and limited time slots so not everyone who signs up for lessons will be able to get one. Get on the list early and a lesson teacher will reach out to schedule you before the year begins.

Pre-registering does not financially obligate you to lessons. Scholarships are available.

• Child's medical history (including date of last tetanus shot)
• Child's most recent height and weight
• Child's medical insurance information
• Preferred doctor and hospital phone number

All forms will be located in your child's CutTime Account beginning July 15.

The Band Handbook is the best place to have all of your questions about band answered. It is lengthy, so we recommend setting aside a few minutes over the course of several days to review the handbook. Bookmark our handbook so you can access it and reference it easily!

All students who have joined band will be able to begin paying band fees and ordering band supplies on this date.

All band fees should be paid by this date unless you are enrolled in a payment plan. This will ensure we have time to order your child's supplies and put their supply bag together before the start of the year.

Late payments will be assessed a late processing fee to cover the special order we will have to make for your child's supplies and the rushed order shipping we will have to pay to get it here on time.

Band forms will show up in your child's CutTime account. Please fill out all forms by August 1.

All band registration forms should be completed by this date. This helps us process our incoming students and enroll them in all our our online systems before we begin the year.

This is the due date for your child's instrument Rental fee for the Spring semester. You may pay these fees all at once, or spread them out over time.

We know you probably have a LOT of questions about band (this is totally normal) so we have compiled a list of our most frequently asked questions. Please check it out, as it will be incredibly helpful to you as you begin your band journey!

It is our goal that no child is ever excluded from band due to financial limitations. Please don't hesitate to apply for financial assistance using the links below.

We have families that are in need of financial assistance to help pay their band fees. If you feel called to serve as an "angel" to another family, please consider donating to our angel fund. Any amount donated goes into the fund and is dispersed discreetly by the band directors based on need. You can donate to the angel fund using the link below.
