The bassoon, the lowest sounding member of the woodwind family, is also a double reed instrument. This is one of the most specialized instruments in the band. Due to the unique nature of these instruments, students playing these instruments are required to take weekly private lessons. There is also a beginning bassoon camp offered in August for students interested in getting a jump start before school begins. Please see Mrs. Cansler for more information.
