Supplies We're running into an issue of many students playing on old and broken reeds. Not only does this impact students' ability to successfully play, but it can be dangerous for student health. Reeds should be replaced regularly and all students who need them should have several available for back up. To save a trip, they can be purchased through A&G, Anderson's, or Hewitt's and will be delivered to Hart. Students who have lost their band book are responsible for replacing it. We order only one per student to start the school year. Extras can be ordered and delivered through the companies listed above as well.
