Please read before filling out the form!

About this fee:

All students registering for Band and Guard are required to pay fees to cover needed items for the year. Fees must be paid in full in order for the student to attend all booster social events unless other arrangements have been made with the Booster Club.

All Band & Color Guard Fees must meet stated deadlines, or the student is at risk of losing his/her performance position unless other arrangements have been made with the Booster Club. It is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to make payment plan arrangements with the Booster Club.

Most of the expenses paid by fees occur during the marching season and can vary depending on which section of the band your student participates in. These go toward items including, competition entry fees, music arrangement, master classes taught by clinicians, marching band props, contest meals, recording costs, uniform cleaning expenses, and trailer upkeep and maintenance.

Incoming Freshmen or those new to the Elkins Band Program will have additional purchases, including marching shoes and gloves.

It is the philosophy of the Elkins Band & Guard Staff that financial obligations should NOT prohibit any student from performing in the Fine Arts if they wish to do so. The staff and Booster Board will work with all families needing to extend payments additional months. Please reach out to the treasurer at treasurer2@elkinsband.org.
