Parents <\/strong>may take any class along side their child for free.<\/strong> They are only required to pay the registration fee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

INSTRUMENTS<\/strong> – A limited number of band instruments are available for rent<\/a> from the band. \u00a0Others may be purchased or rented from local business. Costs are based on the type of instrument each student plays. Generally, the larger the instrument, the higher the cost. Ask the director<\/a> for suggestions and advice. \u00a0Additional costs<\/strong> will include cleaning and maintenance supplies specific to each instrument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUPPLIES<\/strong> – Check out the list of required instrument accessories<\/a> for each instrument. Beginners are required<\/span> to purchase the accessories package from MRGHSB.

\n\n\n\n

DO NOT PURCHASE AN INSTRUMENT WITHOUT TALKING TO MR. BRATCHER FIRST!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

**There are too many low quality instruments on the market and you will want guidance on making a purchase.** <\/p>\n\n\n\n

**Currently we do not have guitars for rent.  Here is Mr. Bratcher\u2019s recommendation<\/a> for a first guitar. **<\/p>\n\n\n\n

**Students who rent instruments from the Mid-Rio Grande Home School Band may do so for three years<\/span>.  If the student desires to continue playing, it is best for the parents to invest in an instrument of their own. This also allows for more students to participate.**<\/p>\n\n\n\n
