Band Instrument Rental/Purchase Procedures

It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that families purchase/rent their own instrument from a local music store or online retailer. School instrument supply is extremely limited and families in the FRL program and returning students with specialized instruments (tenor/bari sax, subas, etc.) will take priority. If a student must rent a school instrument, there is a $50 rental fee. Payments can be made using cash or check (made out to MHMS Band). Payment options are available. 

Rental/Purchase Options: 

• Rent-to-own from a local music store (or online).  Prices: $30-45/month for flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet and trombone. 
• Purchase from a local music store or online (do not recommend this option for beginners).  If you are going to purchase, Mr. Scarbrough is happy to give input about instrument quality and price. 
• School Instrument rentals are available at $50 per instrument for the school year. This fee is required of percussionists at $50 per year. Limited inventory on popular instruments (trumpets, trombones, clarinets, flutes, alto saxophone).  School instruments are prioritized first for those on the Free & Reduced Lunch list. Larger instruments such as Baritone Saxophones, Tubas, and Percussion are available through the school. Click Here to submit a school instrument rental application

Rental Procedures: 

• Music Stores: Families review prices from different stores and then go in to rent 
• School–owned instruments: Parents who are in need of a school instrument submit a School Rental Application. Instruments are distributed on first come first serve basis, but prioritzed for those in the FRL program.  For all school-owned instruments, Mr. Scarbrough will then send home a rental contract.  Students will not receive school instruments unless Mr. Scarbrough has received contract and payment for each instrument. Each instrument has a required $50 rental fee. PLEASE NOTE: All percussionists must pay a rental fee of $50 for school instrument maintenance and sticks/mallet purchases.
