We understand that families have different budgets and other financial obligations. In an effort to assist families, we offer different payment options and ways to reduce the Share of Cost contribution. We are committed to ensuring every interested student is able to participate in the West Campus Music Program.
- Volunteer– You can reduce your Share of Cost (and uniform expenses) by volunteering for the fireworks booth this summer, serving on the music booster board, making food, altering uniforms, driving students to competitions, or assisting the band in other ways during the 24-25 school year. We really need volunteers throughout the school year and there are a variety of options to work with your availability.
- We will reduce your Family Contribution at a rate of $10/volunteer hour, with a maximum reduction of $150 per student.
For example: A Color Guard Family may volunteer 15 hours throughout the school year and reduce their Family Contribution from $800 down to $650
- Family Contribution Fundraisers– We will offer two fundraisers that allow students/families to reduce their Family Contribution (Butterbraid in the Fall and Candy in the Winter).
- Each fundraiser provides the boosters with a 40% return on sales. For example, if your student/family sells $100 in Butterbraid, we will reduce your Family Contribution by $40. Please note, we have several other fundraisers throughout the year that contribute to the Boosters general fund. To learn more about how this money is budgeted, you can view our estimated budget below or attend Music Booster Board meetings to learn about actual budgeting decisions.
- Payment Plans- We offer two payment plan options for families that need it.
- Quarterly Payments– Based on your total Family Contribution, you can pay ⅓ in September, ⅓ in December and ⅓ in March
Note: Payment Plans can be used in conjunction with Volunteer Hours and Family Contribution Fundraisers. We will track everything and provide families with quarterly sta
