Welcome to the Simmons Band! We are thrilled to welcome 132 new students into our band family this year. This is one of the most exciting times of the year for your students to try out band instruments, and see which one will be the best for them. A few notes about instrument selection:​

• Please only sign up for one slot for your student. 

• Please arrive at the time that you signed up. If you come earlier it could make the lines too long! 

• Instrument selection is in the Lower Gym at Simmons Middle School.

• Expect the process of trying out all of the instruments to take 45 minutes.

• When your student is done trying all of the instruments we will decide on a first and second instrument choice for them.

• On May 8th we will email you their instrument choice for next year. On May 19th we will have an instrument rental night where Gadsden Music and Arts Music will be available for you to set your student up with their instrument for next year! 

We are here to help make this an exciting and enjoyable experience for your students! For any questions please contact Mr. Chambless @ mchambless@hoover.k12.al.us
