You can return your instrument at any time, but there are few important things you need to know before you do so.


  1. Make sure your child does not desire to continue playing any longer. You should not return your instrument over the summer expecting to re-rent it in the fall - your child should be practicing. In addition...
  2. ...returning your instrument will terminate your rental account. This means that any rental credit you had accumulated toward the purchase of your instrument (or an instrument upgrade) turns to rent and will no longer apply toward the purchase of an instrument.
  3. Be sure your child has a legitimate reason for not continuing. 
    • Sometimes a child will be frustrated and want to quit because they're not having success, but their instrument actually needs to be repaired (and often, it's a simple solution)!
    • Sometimes there are misunderstandings regarding other activities potentially conflicting with band. Most band directors and coaches or other teachers work those things out so they can participate in both. If you haven't checked with your director first, please do!
  4. Make sure everything that came with the instrument is in the instrument case when you return it so you are not charged for missing parts.
