I still have parents asking for info on how to get an instrument and any supplies which is great! I love all of the interest we are having in band this year. Unfortunately we no longer have a Milano depot in the area to get supplies. A really convenient way to get anything you need is to get on the Milano website and order it. Then it can be delivered to the school by one of the reps that comes out to Laveen when they come for the week!
Here is the link to Milano Music
