$50 Band Fair Share Fee
All students have to pay a $50 band fee to participate in their band class. This fee helps with purchasing band shirts, polos, music, instrument accessories needed in case of emergency, transportation, and instrument coaches throughout the school year. This fee can be paid in full or a payment plan can be set up for your child. This fee is due by October 1st, 2024, and can be paid via cash, check, or School Pay. Students who do not pay this fee or have not setup a payment plan will be added to a school discrepancy report.
No student will be turned away from the band due to financial struggles. Please communicate with Mr. Kelly if you need help with finances or if you would like to donate to our Band Fair Share Scholarship Program.
