Just want to make sure we are all on the same page here - the policy for school mallets is simple:

 

Students are to use school supplied mallets for SCHOOL USE ONLY.  This includes UIL marching band, concert band, etc.  They are NOT to be used for general practice, private lessons (unless your lesson is on the UIL music), or for class rehearsal. 

 

For all individual events (solo and ensemble, masterclasses, all-state audtions, lessons, regular practice) students are to use THEIR OWN PERSONAL mallets.  Each student has a required supply list and should have their mallets each day for this purpose.  We DO NOT supply each student with personal mallets just like we do not give reeds to woodwinds or mouthpieces to brass.  The mallet fee in the band fee schedule ONLY covers mallets needed for school events / purposes.  Each child has received SEVERAL mallets / bags / holders / accessories from this fund already. 

 

Thank you for your time.
