Instrument Rental
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, etc., 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 $50.
  • Instrument rental is also available through local companies so you are encouraged to check out your options to determine what is best suited for your family needs. ​
  • Our Store page provides option to pay School Owned Instrument Rental payments online if desired.

Summer Band Program

This is an optional camp that is SUPER FUN! Our theme this year is “DISNEY” – all music we are playing at camp will be from the Disney parks, movies, and shows! We will have Disney themed dress up days with competitions for best costume, as well as other fun games during the camp. We will also be learning fun music with students from Milwee, Indian Trials MS, South Seminole Academy, Tuscawilla MS, and Greenwood Lakes MS.
