I'm trying to buy virtual drumline but it says that you have to have notation software so i was wondering if i could just buy the student version of sibelius and it still work?  im trying not to spend 700 dollars just to get virtual drumline. if anyone can help i would really appreciate it. thanks

Also, Sibelius with an education discount is only $250.  Assuming you're writing for a drumline or marchingband, include the cost in your contract or have the school buy it for you.
