A WORD ABOUT CLEANING INSTRUMENTS: 

Please remember that most sanitizing products are not safe for the finishes of band instruments (Brass instruments are covered in a "plasticy" laquer that can be damaged by hot water and chemical sanitizers, products containing rubbing alcohol or similar can discolor woodwind mouthpieces and instrument bodies).  Standard mouthpiece cleaning methods are encouraged using cool or luke warm water on mouthpieces only.  Wetting or rubbing to clean the body of woodwind instruments is not recommended (damages pads and misaligns keys, leading to costly repairs).  Please wash your hands both before and after you play.
