Gilroy Unified School District

Welcome to your GUSD middle school band program! This page is specifically dedicated to Ascencion Solorsano Middle School, Brownell Middle School, and South Valley Middle School. Listed below are two categories: Lesson Materials and Suggested Materials. In order to take private lessons, it is mandatory that you purchase all items listed in the Lesson Materials section. These will give you the tools necessary to become a successful percussionist by the time you reach high school. Additional items may need to be purchased as time goes on. Your instructor will let you know if that may be the case. The Suggested Materials category is a list for those who wish to expand their collection. Although these items aren't mandatory to purchase, they will still be useful in a later period of your percussion career. All of these materials in both categories are guaranteed to last you years if properly taken care of.
