The Pottsboro ISD band program proudly played RS Berkeley Instruments during the 2005 / 2006 school year. The instruments were played all during marching season and concert season including UIL contests, in house performances, and community performances. We were impressed with the instruments intonation and quality. We were looking for durability and these instruments proved to be of high quality both in craftsmanship and sound. Compared to other brands, RS Berkeley Instruments are a great choice for School band programs, especially when pricing and quality are the expectation. The Silver trumpets, Saxophones, French horns and Tubas have worked amazingly, both on the marching field and in the concert band. We thank RS Berkeley for being an integral part of Pottsboro ISD's band program's success this year.
