We are so very excited to know your child has selected orchestra as a part of their experience at CMS next year. Their time with our family will be filled with so much fun, success, and awesome adventures that only come with orchestra, and we can't wait to see the incredible legacy next year's group of First Year Orchestra members will bring to Colt Country.

To help us get a great start on next year, please be sure to complete and acknowledge the following items:

1.) Complete the Google Information Form linked here (A second submission is not needed if this has already been completed.)

2.) Use the Sign-Up Genius linked here to select a date and time to meet with us at CMS for your child to make their final instrument selection and to be sized for their instrument. Please note: the new orchestra member and one of their parents must be present for this time. Remember, something awesome about orchestra is all of our instruments come in different sizes to fit the musician.

3.) Please be sure you have Tuesday, April 25th at 7:00 p.m. reserved on your calendar for our informational Zoom meeting. This link will be sent via email the week prior to the meeting.

4.) Instrument Rental Information:

Students playing violin or viola will need to rent an instrument for their use during practice at home and school.

Students playing cello will need to rent an instrument for their use at home and during several after school practices and concerts, but they will then play on an instrument provided by Humble ISD for them during the school day. Students will not have to carry a cello to and from school each day.

Students playing bass or harp will have an instrument provided by Humble ISD for their use at home and during several after school practices and concerts, but they will then play on an instrument provided by Humble ISD for them during the school day. Students will not have to carry a bass or harp to and from school each day.

Instrument rental rates range from $21.99 - $36.99 per month depending on the instrument and the quality. This rate includes an instrument protection plan in the event a repair or replacement is necessary and also covers the price of replacement strings which are needed at least once within a given school year. Customers will also accrue a credit over time via their rental that can then be applied to purchasing a higher-quality instrument when their child is in the high school orchestra. Information for the vendor we most closely work with will be provided at your instrument selection/sizing appointment.

Families should not purchase an instrument without first consulting their child's orchestra teacher. We strongly advise that families wait until high school to purchase an instrument so they make a one time purchase that will be the best size and level of quality for their child.

5.) If you have any questions regarding our program or insight that you would like to share with us regarding your child, please do not hesitate to touch base with us via email. We're here to help you and your child get the absolute best possible start with orchestra.

Go, Colts, Go!
