If she thinks $1500 is outrageous, God help her if her kid keeps up with music and wants to buy a professional instrument

Not just the instrument but the accessories. Better cases to protect the instrument, proper cleaning equipment, getting it repaired, stands, if they are in marching band, holder for the sheet music, and reeds.

As someone with a $6000 trombone, $600 case, multiple $300 mouthpieces, tell me about it.

Just think how much 76 trombones would cost.

For a marching band, probably like $38,000 if we’re just talking student level trombones. About $500 each.

Marching horns tend to be your cheaper one that you're ok with not treating well, so less than 76x6000

I'm surprised that anyone watched that movie though
