Source(s): Prices are collected from J.W. Pepper and may vary.
Justification: Jonathan S - I recommend programs purchasing music through either a
booster or a school district so that a director may start or continue to build a band library
for future band directors or future ensembles. Renting music can be near the same price for
a brand new score and the parts are one time use which would need to be returned after
use. If a director does not use copies, the parts may become damaged which will add a fee
on return of the music. For quartets and smaller groups, students should be responsible for
purchasing their own parts unless it is part of the music library as these parts are more
specific and may only be used one time.

Justification:
All instruments listed are student models, the instruments are well made and reliable for
the pricing. The Yamaha instruments also include a 5 year warranty for the instrument,
bow, and case that is included. Auxiliary items such as Shoulder Rest, Bows, and Cases
should be funded by the school district as these items are necessary for the instrument to
be played and can cause a financial burden to the student. All the Auxiliary items listed are
of beginner or intermediate quality. As for the strings listed, students will be provided with
strings at the beginning of the class but will be responsible for purchasing strings on their
own. This is similar to requiring a student learning a woodwind instrument to purchase
their own reeds. The Red Label brand strings listed are not the best quality, but will serve
their purpose if needed for an emergency hence why they will be purchased by the
Boosters.

Source(s): These prices reflect current MSRP values. Depending on the retailer, prices may
vary.
Justification: Many of the models listed above contain a collection of both student,
intermediate, and professional models. Depending on the school’s needs/requirements for
instruments, some auxiliaries may not be used (for example, A clarinets may only be used if
the school has an orchestra, for solo and ensemble, etc.). Some models may exclusively be
used for marching/concert performance, as some materials used for instruments are
different from that of professional models. However, brand selections and choices of
models are up to the discretion of the player, as not one specific brand may not suit
everyone for their individual needs. Double reed instruments may be supplied by the
school in certain circumstances where students are not able to purchase or rent their own
instruments.

From Enrique: The Royal Global clarinets are just as good, in my opinion better than Buffet,
and they are only half the cost for the professional bass clarinet models, they are also
reliably in tune between all registers. I would recommend these over Buffet, due to
consistency between instruments. In my own experience, buffet clarinets and basses can be
great but they do not all play the same. High school students will benefit from consistent
tuning between registers and consistency between instruments.

Source(s): These prices are reflective of the 2021 year. Most of the instruments
are sold by Woodwind and Brasswind, a highly reputable instrument supplier.
Justification: The majority of the instruments listed are of intermediate quality. The
reason that instruments of this quality have been chosen is to provide more ease-of-use for
the student, which will better facilitate their learning than most beginner instruments.
Financially, too, it is worth the small gap in price between beginner and intermediate
instruments in regard to brass instruments. While intermediate level instruments are great
for High School students in general, programs should have some professional model
instruments for the students in their top ensembles that do not have their own quality
instruments. There is an intermediate and a professional trumpet model included; the
difference in price between intermediate and professional is small compared to other
instruments. It is well advised to have both intermediate and professional models of the
trumpet in your program.

percussion supplier.
Justification:
A band program cannot thrive without a percussion section. Percussion provides the
backbone of most pieces and can be transferred to other areas of the arts including but not
limited to choir, orchestra, and theatre productions.

Source(s): Woodwind & Brasswind, Steve Weiss Music
Justification:
It is important on a visual effect level that all brass instruments are the same color in order
to see horn flashes. King is the choice of many band directors when choosing marching
band brass. Woodwinds are not included but be sure students are using their student
model woodwind instruments as to not ruin their personal intermediate or professional
model horns. Berps are a good tool to allow brass players to buzz while still holding their
horn and it allows for them to continue to build arm strength necessary to carry their
instrument especially for baritone, euphonium, and tuba players. The adapter will allow
horn players to play mellophone without compromising their horn embouchure because
they can use their horn mouthpiece. Tuba, euphonium, and trumpet are included for
reference if this is the directors preference. The drumline is often the backbone of the
marching band; it is also a crowd favorite in the stands. Having a quality drumline will
allow students to be successful in producing a clean show and will create a more engaging
experience for the crowd.

https://performance.stageright.com/products/music-risers/z-800-band-riser/

Justification:

When looking for podiums, it is very important to search for podiums that are at a good
height so that the marching band is able to see the drum majors, it has to be very easy to
transport, and has to be very sturdy to keep your students safe. The minimum requirement
for those podiums to be sturdy is at least 5 feet tall. Majority of the durable and sturdy
podiums are made out of aluminum or other metallic materials that are similar. Some
podiums even come with safety bars that are able to be attached and detached to make it
very easy to store away. However, it may vary on how tall you need to have your podiums.
Some things you may have to consider is the size of the ensemble. If your ensemble is
small, you have to ask yourself if they really need to have the drum major to be so high up.
If not, they do have smaller podiums that are at least 4 feet tall but are still very sturdy and
durable and have all the safety bars that come with it.

Justification:
Students need to be able to put their instruments in a safe place that will keep the
instruments in good condition. Students will be in other classes most of the day and would
be carrying their instruments to every class and by having somewhere to store it, it would
give them some relief especially those students who play a large instrument like tubas, low
woodwinds, etc.. This could also prevent any accidents that may happen. In the source
that is provided, it describes where to store the instruments that would keep the
instruments in good condition. These storages are very good and will keep the instruments
safe and in good condition. A classroom will go through new music constantly and it is
important to organize and store music for potential reuse. Music can get lost quickly if
there is not a place to keep it and it is cheaper than having to purchase another copy of the
same music again.

Source(s): These prices reflect the current prices listed on school outfitter.
Justification: Both chairs and stands that were chosen are durable and practical for
students. The chairs encourage proper posture and come in different sizes. The stands are
made up of steel for durability and have round edges to reduce denting. To purchase a set
of 65 stands would cost 2,989 dollars and a set of 65 chairs would cost 5,525 dollars. A
single chair costs 108 dollars but if you purchase more than 50 then the individual cost per
chair drops to 85 dollars. Having a sleek reliable set of chairs and stands will create
uniformity while performing, as well as look professional.

Justification: As we move into a more virtual lifestyle, we realize every day that we rely on
technology for many things. Cameras and quality recording equipment is extremely
important nowadays for submissions of recordings to competitions, live streaming
concerts, and other technological necessities. People often forget when purchasing new
technology that there are hidden purchase, like XLR Cables, in order to use technology. A
mixing board is the main way to consolidate and control all audio equipment in one space.
Yes, there are smaller boards, but at equipment is accumulated, they won’t be able to
facilitate and may need another board to do the job.

Justification:

**For FMEA and component organization memberships, it is suggested for the school /
school district to pay for teacher memberships if the district requires MPAs and other
related events as expected students events. It is typical for students to have the
opportunity to participate in honor band auditions and festivals, which requires the music
teacher to maintain FMEA and component organization memberships.

*** FSMA is the equivalent of an FHSAA membership for athletics; it is required for all
music programs to be a member in order to participate in district/state-wide musical
activities.
5. Services

5a. Piano Tuning (Nathan)

How often should piano(s) be tuned? Why? Cost per tuning? (Discuss/Describe—include
your source and who funds this.

A common misconception is that pianos will always sound the same. Pianos need to be
tuned at least once a year and it is based on the type/location/condition of the piano.
Classrooms regularly fluctuate in temperature which ultimately affect the tension of the
strings. New pianos, pianos unserviced for 10+ years, need 3-4 tunings to stabilize in an
environment. To extend a piano’s period of proper tuning, purchase a piano with a
regulator and consider other services like regulation and voicing. The average cost for
tuning is about $100/hr, but please note that some tuners may have a flat rate, so do
research on local tuners.
Maintenance is crucial for supporting the arts, it is important that the school district make
an effort to allocate funds for piano services every year. Otherwise, the consequences will
be costly.

5b. Repairs (Brandon)

On average, how much should or do programs spend on repairs? (Discuss/Describe—
include your source and who funds this)

5c. Seasonal Staff (Marching Band, Summer Program, accompanists,

other professional musicians for pit orchestras/collaborative
ensembles, etc.) (Enrique)
On average, how much should or do programs spend on seasonal staff?

Approximately $35,000; between band camp, marching band rehearsals, chamber

ensemble conductors/specialists, and choir accompanists. The staff members are paid per
rehearsal and performance. The funding for this will likely come from the respective
booster boards, however in some districts, staff is paid for by the county as an employee.
Much of this cost is the product of a competitive marching band with many staff members.

Approximately $10,000 for schools that are competitive in a formal competition setting;
staff is paid during band camp and there is a percussion staff member for the whole season.
This is typically a reasonable expectation for staff expenses of a show band.
What is a reasonable wage for each seasonal staff member? Why?

In the band program, marching staff is paid $35-$70 depending on level of education and
expectations set for each member of the staff. For example paying undergraduates
differently than graduates, and lead instructors are paid more than the rest.

In the chorus program accompanists typically have their own fees and are paid by
rehearsal, typically you can expect $50 per rehearsal and pay separately per group. For
example if your show choir and your concert choir have a rehearsal on the same day you
will pay $50 for each group. Expect to pay anywhere from $50-$100 per performance.

Orchestra typically has clinicians rather than seasonal staff.

Eli Serrano. Directors of the music program at Lake Howell High School
5d. Clinicians (Alannah)
On average, how much should or do programs spend on clinicians? (Discuss/Describe—
include your source and who funds this)

The average amount a program spends on clinicians is dependent upon how often
clinicians are being invited into the classroom. Rehearsals with clinicians are valuable in
gaining insight on the ensemble's performance prior to concert or competition. If a
program is only working with a clinician in preparation for MPA, their ‘average cost’ will be
much less than a program that works with a clinician regularly. This can be anywhere from
$50 to $1000.

What is a reasonable wage for each clinician? Why? (include your source and who funds
this)

The amount a clinician is paid will depend on the credentials of the individual, as well as
the financial means of the program. If a clinician is a recent Stetson graduate, for example,
eager to create music with students, the opportunity is just as great for the individual as it
is for the ensemble, so the pay may not be as demanding. Rather, if Dr. Larson is being hired
to come work with the program, anywhere from $50-$200 would be a reasonable
compensation, depending on the time spent working with the ensemble. Included in the
clinicians pay should be travel and accommodation expenses.

Clinicians are often paid from the music programs account, however if you wanted to bring
in an individual out of your program's price range, you could propose the idea to your
schools administration asking for financial assistance. When discussing the topic of
clinicians with Dr. Larson, he stressed that there will always be resources (collegiate
directors) that are willing to visit as a clinician free of charge because it serves as a
recruiting opportunity for the university. So, $100 could be the standard pay for a clinician,
but as directors we should seek out clinicians that want to do it, free of charge, with
expenses for travel and lodging covered.

Larson.)

Justification (Why go to Festival/MPA?): — Adam W.
From the FBA handbook:
PURPOSES FOR BAND MPAs
I. To provide opportunities for students and directors to perform in an environment which
provides critical evaluation of its performance by noted experts in the field of marching,
concert, and jazz band performance.
II. To provide the opportunity for students and directors to perform for their peers in a
formal concert setting or marching band venue.
III. To provide a performance opportunity which will serve as a motivational goal for
students and directors.
III. To provide an opportunity for students and directors to see and hear performances of
their peers and learn from observing these performances.
V. To provide a goal, which is so compelling that, the preparation for attaining that goal
becomes the vehicle for continued growth and to demonstrate students' abilities to apply
musical and marching fundamentals and concepts in a performance setting.
From the FVA Handbook:
The purpose of MPAs is to offer a performance experience with trained adjudicators giving
quality feedback and a rating based on an established rubric. At the Choral MPA, there is an
additional evaluation of the choir’s sight-reading of a rhythmic exercise and a melodic
exercise based on an established rubric.
Further purposes of MPA are...
● to provide guided listening experiences for students and directors in a positive concert
setting.
● to promote the development of musicianship and artistry through the choral experience
● to promote and encourage the use of quality choral literature of varying styles and
periods
● to encourage the study of the voice and piano as solo instruments with the use of worthy
solo literature
● to provide motivation and guidance for directors to improve their professional and
musical effectiveness.
