Fair Share 2022-2023 is $225
Question: What is Fair Share?
Answer: Fair Share is an amount of money that we ask each student to pay to help offset operational costs for Marching Band. Everything we do costs money beyond a classroom budget…custom drill for the field, custom music, show t-shirts, uniforms, uniform accessories, props for the show, instrument repair and maintenance, and transportation to and from our many events…just to name a few! We spend thousands of dollars on these necessities to provide a quality experience and ensure success for our students.
Question: What else might my student have to pay for?
Answer: Only their shoes to march in, which cost $37.00, and any individual items for their instrument (mallets/drumsticks for percussionists, valve oil/slide grease for brass, reeds for woodwinds). Fair Share provides everything else that they will need for a season, including all apparel, music, and transportation.
Question: Do I have to pay all at once?
Answer: No! There is an installment plan outlined in this year’s Marching Band contract with online payment options as well.
Question: Will I be asked for additional money during the season?
Answer: No! We always work to fundraise as a group, but you will not be asked to pay any more money directly during the season.
Question: My student wants to march, but we have a financial need. Can they still participate?
Answer: Yes…contact Mr. Crotts. He will work with you individually to ensure that your student can march and that they have everything they need to be a successful member of the 2022-2023 Marching Band. There are ways to work around financial needs!
