You will need to purchase the following items you do not already have from the Phillips Bookstore, Moxie, Plaza, or other supplier:
SCREEN:
If you need screen fabric to stretch over one of the school's frames, buy polyester screen fabric monofilament 220 mesh (acceptable range 200 to 260)from the bookstore. Do not buy nylon or silk fabric. If you want to buy your own screen, they are available at Plaza Graphics on Middleton Street in
Nashville for around $25.
