Path 2

Adopt-an-Instrument

The 10-year capital track toward the 2036 vision: every student in the Ashley band program with the option of using a quality Yamaha instrument. Gifts of $2,500 or more enter the year's instrument capital fund. Sole sponsors of a single instrument receive a brass plaque on the case for the life of the instrument.

A complete instrument package includes

  • The instrument (quality Yamaha, or named equivalent for instruments Yamaha does not make)
  • Required accessories (mouthpiece, ligature, reeds, oils, mutes, case if not included)
  • 5-year maintenance reserve sized at one-third of purchase price, based on a 15-year instrument lifecycle

Sole sponsor of a single instrument receives

  • Brass plaque on the instrument case with your name, in service for the life of the instrument (typically 15 years)
  • Named in the concert program's “Instruments Sponsored By” section every year the instrument is in use
  • Listed on the permanent Instrument Donor Wall in the band room
  • Annual Instrument Reveal photo packet with the student playing your sponsored instrument
  • Personal thank-you note from Mr. Parker and from the student
  • Invitation to the annual Sponsor Recognition Night (2 tickets)
