Band Participation Obligation
Due to budgetary constraints, it is becoming more difficult for the school system to provide the
financial support necessary to maintain a successful, active band program. Therefore, it is
imperative that each and every member of our program pay a band participation obligation fee. This
will not only help to support the band program, but will also consolidate traditional beginning of
the year expenses into one payment. The band participation obligation for each year is decided
collaboratively with the Band Booster Executive Board. The band participation obligation will
cover a significant number of costs associated with the SCHS band program, including but not
limited to the following:

FINANCIAL COMMITMENT
The SCHS band participation obligation is $65.00 per student unless the student participates in marching band in which this payment is included in the marching band dues.
BAND FEESTo participate in the SCHS Band Program means you understand the financial obligations set forth. We incur expenses that are not covered by Fayette County or Sandy Creek High School. As a result, fees are charged to each band member to cover costs incurred while participating in the program.
You will be notified in advance of all costs and given a formal timeline for payment. Keep in mind that a student’s honor cord as well as any other extracurricular activities (prom, field trips, etc) may be withheld until all financial obligations are met. Financial Accountability: It is expected that all fee payments be made according to the published pre-determined payment schedule. If, for any reason, you are unable to adhere to the pre-determined payment schedule, you MUST communicate such to the Treasurer and put in place an Alternate Payment Plan Agreement immediately. This agreement must be agreed upon and signed by both the parent and the Treasurer. |
Please contact the Band Booster Treasurer should you need flexibility or assistance with our financial obligations. All correspondence is kept strictly confidential.
