Once students select the TEST DRIVE, students/families will receive a confirmation email with your child's choice!
This email will include a link to the supply list!
Examples of supplies include:
woodwinds and brass:
RENTING an instrument, book (estimated price $9), cleaning kit, and instrument specifics such as reeds, valve oil, etc.
Percussion:
bell kit (includes drum pad and bell set), can be rented
Stick bag with required mallets ($100, will last all 3 years in middle school and beyond)
2 books (about $15 each)
Instruments that will be provided by Mercer (rental fee of $100 for the school year) are French Horn, Baritone, and Tuba
Other instruments (example: clarinet) are available for students with financial needs only
please feel free to reach out to your child's counselor or Mrs. Woodard (our parent liason) at sam.woodard@lcps.org for any questions about financial concerns!
For all other instruments, families will need to rent an instrument from a music store
smaller instruments tend to rent for about $30 a month while oboes and saxophones tend to rent for higher price a month
check by calling any local music stores; some music stores run special starting prices for renting instruments in the fall
We have many local stores to choose from and Mercer does not recommend any music store over another.
