{"title":"Forbes Middle School","description":"We are very excited for you to be joining us at Forbes.  Below you will find a list of items that you will need to purchase before the beginning of school in August. Please make sure to order early, as these are popular beginner materials, and they will go out of stock frequently at the beginning of the school year. The required equipment list for percussion is a bit on the pricey side, but please don't let that stop you from joining percussion! If you can't afford it all at once, please start with purchasing the book, practice pad, sticks, and snare drum stand, and you can add the rest later as needed. Please contact Mr. Barrientos, barrientosj@georgetownisd.org, if you have any further questions.","products":[{"product_id":"bingaman-firm-foundations-beginning-percussionist","title":"Bingaman-Firm Foundations for the Beginning Percussionist","description":"Percussion is a vast landscape where there is much to learn, including hand technique, rhythm, coordination, pitch, notation, and music theory.
