Students who rent a school owned instrument will be charged a maintenance fee for the use of the instrument for the year.  In addition, parents will be asked to fill out an instrument condition report on the instrument assigned.  Any damage to the instrument that is considered beyond normal wear and tear will have to be repaired by the student.  The Band Directors will determine what is considered excessive wear and tear.

A properly maintained instrument will not have broken parts or dents.  Dents and busted joints are caused by student negligence.  Students are given cases and cubbies to protect their instruments.

The Directors have the right to refuse rental to any student who has a history of excessive damage to horns.  That student then has the option of renting or purchasing that horn from one of the local music companies.
