FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS
While there is a financial commitment to participating in the band program,
we know that there are some individual situations that may make this difficult.
Students should not drop band because of the financial commitments.
The directors work hard to ensure everybody´s participation regardless of financial situation.
There is a place for all students who want to be in the band program. Fundraising is available.
Please contact a director about financial concerns.
Reminder: $50 was due on June 6 to band camp to cover band camp expenses.
The first marching band deposit ($100) was due on Friday, August 15th and a guard deposit ($50) was due by August 9th.
You can check all due dates at:
http://uhsband.com/2008-2009/Assessment 08-09.pdf.
Remember that you can fundraise all of your financial commitments.
