If you use a school owned instrument or are a percussionist, there is a one time annual fee of $30.00. This is a district wide fee to help pay for maintenance on our instruments. This is also for the percussionist to help pay for drum heads and mallets that are used through the year. If your student is given a French Middle School Instrument, (for example: Tenor Sax, Tuba, Baritone, Trombone, French Horn, Bass Clarinet), or is a percussionist, please make checks payable to French Middle School. There will be an instrument usage form coming home for those students that use our instruments or for percussionist. Please pay when you turn in the usage form.
If you have rented from the USD 501 Elementary Music Instrument Rental Program that is a option, however because we are an middle school, those instruments are rented to the elementary students first then to the middle schools, so there might not be one left. I would highly suggest you look at other avenues of purchasing an instrument. I will be sending a form home for those wanting to use a USD 501 Instrument. |
