Pick your instrument

Decide what instrument your child would like to play: https://sites.google.com/pisd.edu/ricemsorchestra/incoming-students/instruments

The great thing about string instruments is that they come in all sizes. Your child should pick the instrument they want to play based on the sound. What sound do they love the most????

If your child selects cello or bass, we will provide an instrument for them to use at school and you will keep the rented instrument at home. Easy!

Let us know what you picked!

Once your child has chosen the perfect instrument for them, fill out this Google Form (https://forms.gle/oPaDYri4Ex3SqaoK8) so that we can place them in the correct class.

Reserve your instrument at a rental company

Now it is time to reserve your instrument with a rental company. Do NOT purchase an instrument online. You will need to reserve your instrument over the summer and ask for it to be delivered to Rice MS. Please do not wait to do this! The best, highest quality instruments go out on a first come, first serve basis.

***Please, please do NOT purchase an instrument. This is very important.***

Gather the remaining supplies

Once you have rented the instrument there are a few more supplies your child will need on day two of orchestra: https://sites.google.com/pisd.edu/ricemsorchestra/incoming-students/suppli

Many of the rental companies will sell you a “school kit” which contains all but a few of the required materials (For example: The black 1 inch binder does not come in the school kit or the Rice MS PTA pack. Get this at Walmart or Target.)

We look forward to having your child in orchestra this fall. Please follow the steps above so that your child has a successful start in August. We are happy to answer any questions you may have. Email is always the fastest way to reach us!
