Many of you are new to the high school or new to the band program. I want to be sure you are aware of one opportunity you have to pay for your Band Fees. Our Music Boosters organize a fundraiser in the fall. It will be explained to you after the school year begins. I want to be sure you realize that a percentage of the funds you personally raise are placed into an account for your use. Many students raise enough money in the fall to pay for all of their music department fees.
You may also use the money in your account to purchase supplies (such as reeds or music) or to pay for instrument repairs. This account is for your use while you are a member of the band and the money stays in that account all four years of high school. Unfortunately, you will never be allowed to “cash out” your account.
I always have your current balance available for you to look at and can explain to you how to access your account for approved purchases. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
I’m looking forward to working with all of you! See you in August!
