2023-2024 Marching Band Season

The 2023-2024 Marching Band season is here! Please help us offset the cost of band activities by paying a fee. Click on this link to pay.

Fee Structure:

  • Marching band/Color Guard Fee for first child: $425.00

  • Marching band/Color Guard Fee for additional child: $375.00

  • Majorettes Fee: $50.00

We have restructured the fee system for Marching Band. Instead of billing items separately as we have in the past, there is now just one flat fee for members. There is a flat marching band fee of $425 for each Wind/Guard/Percussion, and one flat fee of $50 for Majorettes. This fee covers snacks, pre-game meals, transportation, uniform cleaning, the band t-shirt, gloves, shoes, costumes, and other materials for the students. Additionally:

• Percussionists will need to purchase sticks/mallets which can range from $12-$30. Information will be given once it has been determined who will be playing which drum.

• Optional Instrumental Music Department Spirit wear (Jackets, t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, etc.) will be available for student and parent purchase this fall.

• End of Season Banquet tickets will be sold as the season winds down. We look forward to celebrating a great season with all of our families.

• We appreciate any donations toward a financial assistance fund. We had many more requests for assistance last year than we were prepared to fulfill.
