INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PROGRAM

The Portage la Prairie School Division will offer the Instrumental Music Option, as prescribed by Manitoba Education, for grade 7 to 12 students. The program will be offered in selected schools in the Division and will be available to all students.

Each school offering the Instrumental Music Program shall be provided the basic equipment and facilities as a prerequisite to offering the program.

Each school will be provided with an annual budget allocation for the purpose of supplying expendable music supplies, sheet music, and textbooks.

Division-owned instruments will be limited to two categories:

basic small instruments:

	Available to students during their first year in the program.
	Subject to a maintenance fee, established annually, payable semi-annually in October and January.
	Available to students after their first year in the program where extenuating circumstances warrant such continuation.

b. basic large instruments:

	Available to students selected by the Music Teacher to play such instruments.
	Subject to a maintenance fee, established annually, payable semi-annually in October and January.
	Large instruments that cannot be taken home by the student shall be exempt from a maintenance fee. Percussion students are required to provide their own sticks.

Students not provided with instruments as outlined in a) and b) above are required to supply their own instruments.

Tours and visitations by school bands are to be arranged through the School Principal and communicated to the Superintendent of Schools.
