Amro Music works closely with the Benton Band program. It is based in Memphis, TN but has a local store in Paducah, KY. The company has a representative who comes to the school weekly to pick up/drop off repairs to the school. They have quality instruments with payment plans to fit your needs.
Byassee Music in Marion, IL also works with our program. They will also be a main provider of band instruments and band accessories such as: reeds, oils, etc. Please visit them if you are in need of any accessories or repairs on instruments.
If you find an instrument that is used or you plan to purchase, please contact Mr. Lay before purchasing. Some instruments that are online or sold separately that seem like a great deal may not be the best for your student. While the price may be appealing, the quality of the instrument could be an issue and could cause future problems for your student. Please keep this in mind when purchasing. There are also many instruments that are found online, at pawn shops, or have been used for a long time may need to be re-padded. This applies for flute, clarinet, and saxophone. Please contact Mr. Lay if your instrument needs re-padded for pricing.
