Wonderful experience! Being new to the whole band experience with my daughter joining band, Trey and Alice helped me out so much making sure we had everything we needed and even helped me with finding the stuff they didn't have on hand. The customer service here is amazing every time I have had to speak with someone. Can't wait to get my daughter signed up for their theater class and continue to work with them!
