As a parent who has purchased 3 (! oh my god!) horns so far for a hs kid... it would never have happened but for my mom. She died and left $$ for my daughter's "education". We fall in the middlish income range where we won't and don't qualify for much financial aid for college, and all that $ just makes it worse. so it made sense to spend the $ on horns and lessons now rather than hold on to it to pay out later to colleges. She has and uses 2 of the horns, one we traded in for the third. And yes, we probably will end up getting another if that's what she needs to be in the music program she's applying to.

Is she spoiled? Probably. Is she worth it? Absolutely. music has kept her focused, out of trouble, in with a good crowd, ambitious, etc etc etc.
