Getting An Instrument If you currently own or have access to an instrument, we encourage its use, provided the instrument has been properly maintained and is in good playing condition. It may be a good idea to have the instrument checked over by a professional instrument repair person or educator.

If you do not already own an instrument, you’ll need to get one. For your convenience, The Band Bus has quality instruments available for rent.

Some friendly advice, should you prefer to rent or purchase your instrument elsewhere, go to a reputable source. Please be advised that there are many sub-par instruments on the market. These instruments are generally found at local shoppers clubs or on-line auctions. As an inferior instrument can impact a child’s success with music, if you are unsure of the quality of an instrument, please contact The Band Bus or your local instrument repair shop.

Renting An Instrument: When you choose to rent for the school year, you will receive a good quality used instrument. All instruments are in playing condition and well maintained.
To Rent An Instrument: Please complete the rental agreement labeled #2 from the link at the top of this page.
