THARP FITTINGS: Tuesday/Wednesday, February 6-7 from 4-8pm at Tharp (Enter front doors)
APPOINTMENTS ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL FITTINGS.
YOU MAY NOT WALK IN WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT.
You only need to sign up for one 10 minute time slot for your orchestra fitting.
(It may take longer than 10 minutes if your child wants to try several instruments).
Make sure you schedule your appointment at your child’s 6th grade school.
If you are scheduling both a band and orchestra fitting on the same night,
schedule the orchestra fitting first as band fittings take longer.

If your child has already decided what instrument to play, we will use the Fitting Session to “fit” your child with an appropriately sized instrument. Every instrument is made in a variety of sizes, so whatever instrument your child chooses, we can find one to fit him or her! We will be following approved district guidelines for sanitizing and space.
If your child is still undecided as to what instrument to play, the Fitting Session is a great opportunity to try out each instrument and make a decision. Your child’s Orchestra teacher will be there to help you with any questions you have, and to talk more in depth with you about the process of renting an instrument. As soon as you are ready, you will be able to call in or order an instrument online to be delivered to your child’s school in the fall.
You may sign up for both band and orchestra fittings. Please check the schedule as there are not always orchestra fittings on the same night as band fittings. If you schedule both in one evening, schedule your Orchestra fitting FIRST as those take less time.
