JMS Beginning Band Fittings

We are excited to bring information on 6th grade band fittings to you! The Jackson City Schools Music Department is committed to providing the safest instrument fitting process that we can for your student. Fittings will be offered on July 8th in the Jackson Middle School Gym. We ask that you follow these instructions in order to best serve your student and our staff members safety. 
  • Schedule an appointment using our google form
    • IF YOU WANT TO PLAY PERCUSSION  THIS WILL OCCUR JULY 7th. This is an auditioned instrument. We will call all students who audition to let them know if they will play percussion. We ask that you schedule an appointment for July 7th and 8th.
  • Show up 5 minutes before your scheduled and remain in your vehicle. You will be notified of when to enter
  • Each student must be accompanied by one parent or guardian. We ask that siblings and others stay home. 
  • Both the student and parent/guardian will be required to wear a mask to enter the building. Once inside, the student will have to remove the mask in order to try out a few mouthpieces, after this process is done, they will need to put their mask back on. 
  • Please remain socially distant at all times. Our instructors and staff will be following strict protocols as well and remain as far away as possible from your family. 

    To speed up the process we will only be using mouthpieces for this year's fittings. We will have several staff members in charge of cleaning and sterilization of the mouthpieces that will be used for the fitting. After each mouthpiece is used it will be scrubbed with soap, water, and brushed for cleanliness. Additionally, each mouthpiece will be sprayed down with Sterisol Germicide, a solution that has been tested and CDC approved to kill viruses and bacteria, including COVID-19. All staff members will be wearing masks. Fitters may need to remove their mask to demonstrate how to properly make a sound on their own personal mouthpiece, but after they will resume wearing their mask.
