Attached is a list of mouthpiece upgrades that I strongly recommend. One of the reasons for the Wind Ensembles success has been having the band play on matching equipment. These mouthpieces sound better, match sound and pitch better (when everyone plays the same) and are easier to play! They will also be great for high school. I have negotiated special pricing (BELOW RETAIL) from Bellflower Music (562)867-6715. Feel free to call them and state that your student goes to Calle Mayor. They will sell the products at the price below and deliver to Calle. Although you may find these elsewhere, I think this is a great service provided by Bellflower. Although I recommend this equipment for all band members, the mouthpieces etc. below are a requirement for all Wind Ensemble students.

Thank you for your support!

Choir and Concert Band received Gold Ratings at Festival, Wind Ensemble received all Superior ratings from all three Festivals including SCSBOA Regionals, and the Jazz Band received 1st Place at the Super Jazz at the Ranch Festival. I couldn't be more proud of all of these students! We also put on three sold-out concerts, two sold-out plays and the first ever TUSD Middle School trip to Hawaii. We also formed an official booster club and set up our own website. I want to thank all of the many helpful parent volunteers for all you have done this year!
