 A word on instrument fees.  We do not charge rent for school instruments.  We do charge a fee to help cover the costs of cleaning and maintaining the instruments.  District budget can not keep up with the rising costs of instrument upkeep. A basic cleaning and checkup for most instruments averages $50!  We are charging just $35 for the year.  The Booster Club has budgeted some support for repairs this year, but most the costs for most of the repairs needed during the school year are covered by payment of fees!

We will work with you, accepting payments, or even in extreme cases waiving the fees.  But, there is a harsh reality to remember here.  If we run out of repair money, then a broken instrument will not be fixed and the student using it may be out of luck and without an instrument!
