Fees
The band director works closely with the booster President and Board to create a budget each year that is an estimation of the necessary operation expenses needed for the following school year. Very few expenses are covered through school board contributions so it is necessary to charge each student to cover additional expenses such as music, marching shows, additional instructors, transportation and other miscellaneous items.
Marching Band/Color Guard Fees are $500.00 per student.
Winter Guard or Winter Percussion Fees (To be determined)
Concert Band Fees are $150 and cover the cost of music, copies, instrument rental and repair, transportation via bus to MPA performance, travel expenses for parades, trailer maintenance, and banquet costs, awards (letters and bars, pins) etc
There are two ways to pay band fees.
OPTION 1: Corporate Sponsorship
You can use corporate sponsorship to cover your band fees.
OPTION 2: Pay $500
Band fees can be paid all at once or you can make monthly payments throughout the marching band season.
Please contact the band treasurer at ofhswpbtreasurer@gmail.com to work out a payment schedule or to inquire if you are eligible for any available band scholarships.
Band fees can also be reduced by reaching the minimum 25 hours per semester of volunteer hours.
