      Band Instrument Rental/Purchase Procedures 

      Rental/Purchase Options: 

      Rent-to-own from a local music store (or online). Approximate Prices: $30-45/month for flute, clarinet, trumpet and trombone.  Saxes and larger instrument are around $50-80/month. (Some pricing can be found on the band website) 

      Purchase from a local music store or online (do not recommend this option for beginners).  If you are going to purchase, Mr. 

      Myers is happy to give input about instrument quality and price. Remember- you get what you pay for! NO AMAZON 

      Rent instrument from the school for $50 for the school year (Limited inventory- reserved first for those on the Free & Reduced Lunch list per district policy). 

      Rental Procedures: 

      From Music Stores: Families review prices from different stores (some store rental rates and info can be found on the 

      Billinghurst Band webpage, info below) and then go in to rent/buy. 

      Percussionists: Percussion kits available from the school via submission of School Rental Application (next page). $50 Rental fee. 

      For School instruments: Parents who need a school instrument submit a request when filling out the Band Information Form (online).  The list of those in need is then given to our Principal to check Free & Reduced Lunch eligibility. If the student qualifies and an instrument is available, Mr. Myers will then send home a rental contract.  Students will not receive school instruments unless Mr. Myers has received contract and payment. Qualifying students still pay the $50 rental fee. (Different from Class Fee) 

      o If you don’t need a school instrument, but would like to use one if Mr. Myers has any left over after those in need 

      have checked theirs out, please complete the form below as well.
