Attention Required.....
There are a significant number of students that are
PAST due in their Fair Share fees.
As a reminders....the band budget is fairly distributed among all band students. Student band fees are calculated by dividing the overall band budget by the number of expected students in each program. It is imperative for the success of the band program that all members realize their obligation to the group as a whole.
- Students who do not meet these needs will not be allowed to join us on band trips.
- Students must meet all “fair share” payments each year to qualify for a letter jacket.
Please make arrangements to pay your outstanding fees today!
2017-2018 FAIR SHARE PAYMENT OPTIONS
Pay the fees up front in the amount of 400.00 by September 29, 2017.
Pay in monthly installments of 110.00 each.
