Pricing
$350.00 plus $20.00 shipping and handling. An invoice can be provided upon request. Purchase orders are happily accepted.

For this price, you receive a single copy of the score and one set of each part. In effect, you are buying a site license which allows you to make as many copies as necessary, strictly on your campus, of the score and parts. Packets for each individual instrument run 15 pages each. Compared to the price of traditional method books, the Band Boot Camp is a great value, especially over a period of years. As students move into and out of your program, simply run a few more copies. Some schools provide each student with a copy of the packet for their instrument, while others organize the materials into binders that are stored in the band room for use by each successive class.
