Marching Band Activity Fair Share Contribution
In order to run a marching band, there a numerous expenses that are not covered by the school district - some examples include: transportation costs for equipment, specialized instruction, drill and music preparation, uniform cleaning and maintenance, and entry fees. The activity fair share contributions help cover part of these expenses. Fundraising pays the rest and provides scholarships for students who are not able to pay fair share contribution.
