Milwee Middle offers instrument rental for school owned instruments based on availability. We only offer school rentals for "larger" band instruments due to the cost of renting or owning those types of instruments. Smaller instruments will be rented through a local, reputable, music store such as Music Shack, Music and Arts, or Allegro Music.
Please avoid music stores such as Sam Ash, Guitar Center, Amazon.com, Walmart, ect... as they do not specialize in band instruments or offer the correct brands of instruments required to use in our program. Often the instruments these stores offer break easily and cannot be repaired by a certified instrument technician. LARGE School Owned Rented Instruments include: Tuba, Baritone, French Horn, Bassoon* SMALL Rented Instruments from a local store include: Flute, Oboe*, Clarinet, Saxophone*, Trumpet, Trombone, Percussion Kit* *Students playing these instruments MUST be enrolled in private lessons while enrolled in Band. For more information contact Mr. Autrey. Rental agreement forms will be required and the rental fee is $150 per school year (Fall and Spring Terms). Summer Rental is $25
I would like to extend this opportunity to your student for participation in the Lake Mary - Longwood Summer Band Program. Summer band is a two-week program for students who are enrolled in band at any middle school, home school, or are entering into 9th grade for the 2021-2022 school year. This camp allows students to get an early start on learning an instrument, or a chance to learn new skills for 6th, 7th, 8th & 9th grade. Summer band is also for students who may not have signed up for band, but are interested in trying band for the first time. Summer band provides a relaxed environment where small groups of students who are really excited about band can have fun with their first musical experience!
