The school owned instrument usage fee is a one-time per school year that covers normal wear and cleaning of a school-owned instrument.  This fee only applies to students who play a school-owned instrument (typically - piccolo, oboe, bassoon, bass clarinet, tenor/baritone saxophone, French horn, euphonium, bass trombone, tuba and percussion.)  If you are unsure whether or not this fee is required for your student, please contact your band director.
