Instruments School-Owned
- The school owns a limited number of the larger or more expensive instruments. These instruments will be available to students who elect to switch to one of these: tenor and baritone saxophone, bass clarinet, French horn, baritone, tuba, bassoon, string bass, cello and marching percussion and mellophones.
- School-owned instruments may ONLY be used for school functions and ensembles or approved activities.
- Instruments will be selected / assigned by seniority in the music program in the event that there are more students than instruments. Other than this, instruments will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
- Students will buy their own sticks, mallets, reeds ligatures, cork grease, oil, mouthpieces and other expendables. Each student/parent who signs out an instrument is responsible for paying for any damage or repairs that are not deemed “normal wear and tear” by the director. An Instrument Maintenance Agreement will be completed for each instrument being borrowed.
- It is every student’s responsibility to show respect and care for all equipment. This includes music, folders, uniforms, instruments, etc. NO students will be allowed to play on ANY instrument that does not belong to him/her. ! ONLY PERCUSSIONISTS ARE ALLOWED TO USE THE PERCUSSION EQUIPMENT !
Music School-Provided
Students will be assigned music folders. These folders are issued to help protect the music and books from excessive wear. It will be each student’s responsibility to take care of the music and folio. Lost or damaged music or books will be charged to the student.
ALL music must be present at EVERY rehearsal and performance. DO NOT remove any individual piece from the folio to take home. The entire folder should be taken home so as to protect the music. Do not store the music folder in your instrument case. When marking your music, use only PENCIL. A pencil should be kept in your folder at all times.

Repairs and Supplies Instrumental Music
A music store representative from Marshall Music and Meyer Music will call on us weekly to take care of individual repairs. Minor repairs normally take one week. Parents will be billed for the repair. No instruments will be repaired without parental consent. The music store will contact you with an estimate for the cost of the repair for approval before completion. Reeds, valve oil, slide grease, etc. may be purchased before or after school or at lunch in the classroom.
