Ear Protection With some larger classes in the 7th and 8th Grade Band and incredibly enthusiastic sounds at the 6th Grade Bands, several have inquired about utilizing hearing protection. This can be a great idea to protect ears in the long run and help those who may be overstimulated by all the sounds in the band room. While there are a lot of options out there, here are a couple I've used myself and found helpful in rehearsals without making things really stuffy and hard to hear. They can be ordered directly from the site and also found on Amazon. Earasers Loops Extra Help/Private Lessons Band is SO much more fun when students are able to play along and keep up with class. We have several options for students to get some extra help to increase their confidence or even seek out some new challenges.
