Welcome to the start of the 2020 West Shore Marching Band Season!
We are now in the process of registering students to confirm their participation and show their commitment to our organization.

Here are the items that we will need you to complete the registration process:
- Online Marching Band Registration Form

- Athletic/Extracurricular Code of Conduct Form
- Registration Fees
Please see all the information below

4. Registration Fees
*Please do not let a fee deter you from signing your child up for marching band. The District and Booster program are her to help kids stay involved. I guarantee your child's participation in this activity is worth it. Please read all the information, especially if you are new!*
Fees
There are two fees associated with participating in the West Shore Marching Band.
- West Shore Music Booster Fee $100 (for this year to start).
- School Participation Fee $100
Given the circumstances, we are starting are registration fee out at $100 to help us cover initial costs of the season. However, if we have a full season we will need to ask for an extra $50 dollars in September to cover normal student expenses. (food/nationals transportation/etc..)
Q & A about Registration Costs
You will need to write two separate checks
- $100 made payable to the "West Shore Music Boosters"
- $100 made payable to your child's high school/future high school - "Cedar Cliff High School" or "Red Land High School"
- You must write out the High School's Complete name - NO abbreviations - RLHS or CCHS
When does this fee need to be paid?
Music Booster Fee -
- We normally ask you to pay for this as soon as you register. However, if you cannot mail it in at this moment, we are asking that the fee be paid the first time your child has an IN PERSON practice. We do not know when that is just yet.
School Fee -
- The school fee must be paid by August 10th. If a student does not, they could be stopped from performing at competitions or football games.
What if I can't pay for this all at once?
The Music Boosters are happy to help with payment plans. Please contact me via email at amagaro@wssd.k12.pa.us to help set this up.
The School District will also help you setup a payment plan - please contact your high school's athletic secretary to set this up. Also, the school district does allow waivers that you can fill out if you are in financial need.

What if we DON'T have a marching band season?
We will refund the money to each family.
Why is the Music Booster Fee only $100 for this year?
With the future being unknown during this time, we do not want to burden families with too much upfront cost. However, we will need to collect more to help cover other student marching band expenses if the season proceeds as normal.
Questions & Concerns
Please ask us any questions through the form below and one of the directors/booster members will get back to you promptly!
