Elementary Band students (except for Drummers) who are marching in the Wilmington Memorial Day Parade will need a piece of equipment called a LYRE (pronounced liar).
Lyres attach either to the student or the instrument and hold the music for the musician.
Please click on the links below for information about the very specific lyre that your child’s instrument will need. We will start using the lyres in class on May 7,2024
The links will take you to Amazon where you can purchase the lyre, or you can visit one of our local music vendors as well. Please make sure to call in advance to be sure that they have the lyre you need in stock. Local vendors include National Music (Woburn), The Music Place (N. Reading), Performance Music (Woburn) and Tewksbury Music (Tewksbury).
