How do I get an instrument once I've chosen one?
From family or friend (recommended to have Mr. Daugherty or a music store check that it's in working order).
Rent-To-Own. Most students choose this option for a rental program from Don Wilson Music Company in Lexington. It is set up as a monthly payment that is applied to the purchase of the instrument. It also includes repair insurance for the duration of the lease in case of a mishap and if the student decides not to continue with band before the lease is up, parents may return the instrument and payments stop.
Online purchase-BE CAREFUL! There are many online sellers that are not reputable or that sell instruments that are not good quality. If you are looking online, email Mr. Daugherty the link to the seller so that he can check it out for you (greg.daugherty@rockcastle.kyschools.us).
Tuba is not available for rental, that is a school owned instrument provided to students interested.
What should I do if my family can't afford an instrument rental right now but I still want to play?
Parents should contact Mr. Daugherty privately via email to discuss options at the email listed above.
