Picking an Instrument

BALMORAL DRIVE SENIOR PUBLIC SCHOOL

Renting an Instrument
If you rent an instrument, it will be yours from fall until summer.
The instrument is yours to keep and to bring home as you wish. If you happen to
damage your instrument by accident, it will be repaired for free (with some
restrictions)
This will vary in price depending on the instrument that you choose:
◦ Flute, Trumpet, Trombone, Clarinet: $162.72
◦ Alto Saxophone: $315.27
◦ Baritone: $366.12
◦ Tenor Saxophone: $386.46
Using a School Instrument
If you wish to use a school instrument instead, we do have a number of school instruments that are
available for student use. These instruments may be shared with the other band class and you may be
responsible for some personal items that cannot be shared – but nothing is guaranteed!
The school has:
7 Flutes
8 Clarinets
3 Trombones
1 Alto Saxophone
1 Tenor Saxophone
6 Trumpets
Snare Drum/Bells
Instrumentation Investigation
To help you make a better choice you are going to be
going around to each instrument station, and getting
up close with some of the instrument choices that will
be offered.
Answer the station questions as you go around, and
make personal notes for the instruments that you may
want to try.
At the end of the class, you may get the chance to try
at least one school instrument (don’t worry, they’ve all
been cleaned!)
