There are the instruments my son takes to school for band classes everyday. This one above is called a bell kit. It has Xylophone, a drum pad, sticks, a stand and score sheet holder.

This one is his guitar for jazz band. Jazz band is what he really wants to do. He is going to have an audition which he needs to pass to be officially admitted into the band. I've been telling him to practice, but he keeps procrastinating. Students are supposed to have their own instruments. We paid $200 for the bell kit, and if he passes the jazz band audition, he was told by his teacher to get a "better" guitar (the one he has been using is a very beginner one). Bands could be pretty expensive. Probably we are much better off compared to someone who does, say, a french horn, which runs up to $4,000 if you but it.
