School Instruments
Students are allowed to borrow school instruments on a need and availability basis. As available percussion, tubas, baritones, mellophones, basses, cello, violas and auxiliary instruments are provided during the school year. ALL instruments need to be checked out on a SABINO INSTRUMENTAL DEPARTMENT equipment check out form available from the equipment managers.
Commercial renting of an instrument can be costly; the Sabino Instrumental Program offers its instruments at no charge. All that we ask is that each student take care of the instrument loaned to them, as we will need these instruments for generations to come. Routine maintenance and cleaning are the responsibility of the student. Supplies such as reeds, cork grease, valve oil, slide cream, rosin, etc. are to be provided by the student.
If the school instrument becomes damaged, notify the director immediately. You can do more harm to an instrument by continuing to use it in such a state. DO NOT attempt to repair any damage yourself. If damage is due to negligence or vandalism the student who has the instrument checked out is responsible. In order to maintain the quality of our instruments and avoid conflicts, students may only play the instrument they have checked out unless the director has approved a switch. Percussionists are the ONLY ones allowed to play percussion instruments.
