ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Fair Share Fee

Operating a band program is an expensive venture. To ensure a memorable and enjoyable musical learning experience for each student, we ask that a fair share fee (per student) is paid via SchoolPay.

To run a successful band program, we would need to raise money for new school owned instruments, expand everyday classroom equipment, instrument supplies, instrument repairs, new sheet music, guest conductors, travel to, and registration for, Music Performance Assessments (MPAs), and other expenses that are not paid for by the school district.

This fee will include the locker fee and the band t-shirt. If there are any challenges with the fee, please contact Mrs. Westerman.

Chaperones & Band Trips

There will be a handful of trips throughout the year where we will need chaperones. Parents may sign up as chaperones by contacting Mrs. Westerman or by indicating so on the permission slips that will be sent home before the trip. To be approved to participate on the trip, all chaperones need to be OCPS ADDitions approved. Learn more here.

Chaperones will carry the same authority as the director on trips and are to be obeyed and treated with courtesy and respect. Students will be on their best behavior at all times.

Horseplay and screaming are prohibited on the bus — OCPS bus rules apply as stated in the OCPS Student Code of Conduct. Students may not change buses without permission. Roll will be checked on each bus before departure.

No drinking or eating will be permitted except when designated by the director. Students are responsible for their own instruments and music so double-check EVERYTHING.

Any students who will receive a ride home with their parents must give the director a written request in advance of the trip. If approved, the parent or designated must appear in-person to pick up the student from the director.
