Course fees for the 20-21 school year for all band classes, high school and middle school, will be $20.00. This fee covers their SmartMusic subscription, Sight Reading Factory subscription, and a method book. This course fee is waived for students enrolled in the free/reduced lunch program. Please notify your band director immediately if your child qualifies.
Students must obtain all necessary equipment to play their instrument, i.e. reeds, cork grease, valve oil, slide grease. Please use the materials list above to identify what to purchase for each instrument.
Instrument rental fees are the same as before: $100.00 for school-owned instruments, or $20.00 for students in free/reduced lunch program.
Percussion should have a pair of Vic Firth SD1 drum sticks, and a real feel drum pad. These can be purchased to own for approx $35, or included in the FCPS percussion fee of $60.00 for the year. They are also available through the Instruments for All for students in the free/reduced lunch program for $20.00.
