Questions or Need Help?

We recognize the difficulties sometimes created with participation in activities that involve financial obligations. No child is denied participation in the Band Program due to financial difficulties. If financial difficulties arise, we will work with you to schedule contributions that better suit your family’s needs. If a family has difficulty in meeting these contributions, you can submit the Hardship Request form to apply for sponsorship.

Ready to Pay?

You can pay cash/check to the dropbox in the band room (in a sealed envelope with your student’s name included!) or directly with the Treasurer. Contact the Treasurer with any questions.
