AboutBand fees are necessary for the band to function, travel, maintain and purchase new music and equipment. Not everything on the list of fees applies to every student so be sure to read the form at the end of this handbook carefully. It is important that band fees be paid by the dates given. Payment plans can be worked out with the director and the band boosters.
Individual accounts are set up for each student. These accounts may be used by the student for band fees, instrument needs, and any travel related expenses. The accounts are funded by payments into the account and/or money earned by the student by participation in fundraisers. All funds will be kept in the participating student’s name until such time that the student ceases to be in the band program. If a student decides not to continue with band, no refund of fees paid will be made. During the year, fundraising opportunities are provided for the student to earn money for his/her account. Each student’s account is credited upon receipt of the product/money for the student portion of the profits. Account balances will not be refunded and any remaining balance will automatically transfer to the Gretna Band Boosters unless a parent or legal guardian authorizes a transfer of ‘positive’ funds to another student. A student may transfer his/her account balance at the end of the year to another currently enrolled student or to a sibling who may be participating in the Band Program the following year. |
