This program will accommodate 36 students (18 for the band and 18 for the orchestra) and will be a first come first served basis.
The family of the student must be eligible (dictated by federal guidelines) for free/reduced lunch.
Parents will be responsible for $50.00 + tax of the rental fee and will have to go to the music store with identification and a credit card to pay this fee to pick up the instrument.
