Band Policies

Mt Pisgah Band By-laws

This year's Executive Board and volunteers members are:

UNIFORMS
All sixth grade band students will wear a band shirt (polo style) and khaki pants at public performances.  All seventh and eighth grade band students will be expected to purchase a band uniform.  The uniform consists of tuxedo pants, shirt, cummerbund, bow tie and black socks.  The complete uniform is approximately $58.00.  A representative of the uniform company will measure students at school for their uniform (this will happen in mid September).  If your student already has a band uniform, please check and make sure it fits.

BAND FEE
Each family will pay a $75.00 band fee.  If two are more students are from the same family, only one $75.00 fee will be collected.  Money for this fee may also be raised by using a “Kroger Card.”  This fee is collected to help pay for music, concert hall rentals, instrument repair, and fees for WTSBOA events.  6th grade students who have paid their band fee will receive their shirt sometime in November. In order for us to plan for the year, please indicate on the student information sheet how you will be paying the band fee. Please remember that by using a Kroger card, you can pay your band fee without spending and cash.

The Kroger Card is an excellent way to pay your band fee.  Please read the page entitled “Kroger Card.”

FUND RAISING
The band will do one fundraiser to be determined by the Band Booster Club.

BAND BOOSTER MEETINGS
The Mt. Pisgah Band Booster Club is established to support the Mt. Pisgah Bands.  The Booster Club will meet quarterly, with each meeting announced at least 2 weeks in advance.

We would like to encourage each and every parent to contribute to the booster club. We understand that everyone has very busy lives, so we are thankful for whatever time and energy you can contribute. Our band booster club is only as good as our volunteers.

To have a successful year, we will need every parent to get involved. Volunteers for jobs big and small will be greatly appreciated by the booster club and our band kids. We look forward to the awesome band year ahead.


Sincerely,

Bob Eng
Booster Club President
