Tradition of excellence
Tradition of excellence Was delivered right to our school. My son was getting used to all kinds of new things and it was his first year of band in his new middle school. Schmitt music made it easy by delivering the music book directly to the band teacher to be able to hand out to the kids. Really appreciate how easy this was!!
