MUST Rent from FWISD ($80/year):
Percussionists should purchase their own sticks, mallets, and drum pad if possible. Students will use school instruments for everything else, including snare drum, bass drum, timpani, marimba, accessories, and more. |

We encourage these instruments to rent from the music store if at all possible, but do have a limited quantity available to rent from the school if the music store is not an option |
