Fees may be paid online at http://ghsband.org or by check. All fees must be paid in full for students to receive any of their recognition awards.

There are additional opportunities through the year for parents and/or students to earn money for credit to your band account. Information is sent home with your student informing you of any upcoming events to work at and they are filled on a first come basis.

Yes, in fact there are four “fair share” fundraisers that are held to help keep band fees down, one in the Fall and one in the Spring. Additional fundraisers include the Scrip Program and parking cars at the local Indy race tracks among many other. More information will be made available as opportunities come up.

Fair Share – Each student is designated a “fair share” amount that they are responsible for with two options:

1) sell the designated amount (or more) of the fair share

2) opt out of the fundraiser and pay the designated dollar amount If a student sells more than their designated fair share amount, they will receive credit for a portion of the extra items sold. ·

Example: If the “fair share” amount is to sell 14 items, but the student sells 18, the student will receive credit for a portion of the additional 4 items sold.

Band fees are assessed for Marching Band, Winter Percussion, Irish Guard and Winter Guard and Fall Sports participants. This is commonplace among every band program in the state.

Each student will have an account where band fees, payments, and any
credits earned are tracked. The treasurer sends out statements periodically to parents so you will be aware of any balances due or credits accumulated. You may carry over credits from one year to the next for band fees.
