The following is taken from the Band Handbook:
STUDENT ACCOUNTS Each student in the band program has a “Band Account” that they keep throughout middle school and high school. This acts like a bank account for each student. All money raised by each student (from fundraisers, donations, etc.) goes into that student’s account. Money in these accounts can be used by the student to pay for field trips, band supplies, lesson books, and instruments purchased through the school. Some money in a student’s account may be used as spending money during trips. When a student graduates, any remaining money can be transferred to a younger sibling or is donated to the music department. If there is ever a financial concern, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Petersen. These issues will be handled in a discreet and confidential manner. Student can also deposit donations or other non-fundraised money into their account for later use. FUNDRAISERS The Music Department makes every attempt to keep costs for activities as low as possible. To help you pay for some band activities/trips and supplies, the Music Department and the Music Boosters organize and offer various fundraisers during the course of the school year. Participation in fundraisers in completely optional - you only have to participate if you want to. All money raised in fundraisers go directly to that’s student’s account (except the fruit sale which benefits the Music Boosters). The Music Department has spent a lot of time trying to pick quality products for our fundraisers. If you do participate, please make sure you act professionally when selling - you are representing the band and the school. Also, at the end of the sale, please collect and turn in your money as soon as possible. Traditionally we do a catalog fundraiser in September, Cheesecake and Butterbraids in October, Fruit in November, and a cookie dough/frozen food fundraiser in the January/February. If there is ever a financial concern, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Petersen. These issues will be handled in a discreet and confidential manner. 2021-2022 Fundraiser ScheduleAll 2021-2022 Fundraisers are subject to change
