Welcome students from Broadway, Birnham Woods, Ford and Snyder! We are happy to have you join the band for the 2024-2025 school year!
Thanks for your interest in the Tom Cox Band! No experience required!
We are excited for you to have your Band Instrument Interview
to find the instrument that suits your child the best.
See below for Signup Genius Links to Sign Up for your Band Instrument Placement.
Please do not rent or purchase a band instrument until you have had
your instrument interview and your instrument selection has been
confirmed by a band director. Thanks!
Band instruments belong in two families:
Woodwinds include Flute, Clarinet, Oboe, Bassoon and Saxophone
Brass include Tuba, Euphonium, French Horn, Trombone and Trumpet
There is also Percussion, which consists of primarily keyboard percussion
Two videos below show off the different instruments.

Welcome to the Tom Cox Band! If your student wants to be in band, but has not had an interview, we will be placing 5th graders (and 6th graders who transferred from another district) in the first few days of school, during their school-day Fine Arts time.
Please be looking for instrument supply sheets to come home.
Please do NOT purchase any supplies before your student has been placed on an instrument, and take the supply sheet to the music store with you. Thanks!
PERCUSSION INFO: If your child is interested in interviewing for Percussion, you must sign up for a slot on May 13th or May 22nd, and first select a non-percussion and non-saxophone instrument in case you are not selected for Percussion.
Parents, at that point, there will be information about a separate Percussion Interview.
Contact Mrs. Perry at mmperry@conroeisd.net with questions.
Instrument interviews begin in May for the 2024-2025 school year!
We are super glad you have chosen to do the BEST THING YOU CAN DO IN SCHOOL!
Also, we have streamlined our interview process, so we are doing our best to expedite the interviews.
We appreciate your patience as we ensure your child is placed on the best instrument for them to be happy and successful!
