Event Information
Instrument Rental Pick-Up Night

The Instrument Rental Night will NOT take place during school hours - you must attend with your student. The event begins promptly at 6:00PM and ends at 7:30PM. It is encouraged to get there earlier rather than later to ensure our end time is as scheduled. Students will be informed about their instrument assignment and when their Band/Orchestra class will take place. They will also be informed about the enrichment class they will switch out of in order to take Band or Orchestra; this includes the GATEWAY program and potentially their WIN Block. Families will be informed on their amount due every month per the respective instrument being rented. An account with David French Music will be established in order to make those payments the night of. If there are any further questions regarding this process, please feel free to email with any questions!


If you are unable to attend Instrument Pick-Up Night, click the link below for David French Music to secure your instrument rental. Our David French representative will deliver any instruments ordered online directly to the school. Please ensure you write Barnstable United Elementary School as the school.
