Fees are non-refundable after January 1, 2026

Please read the following 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.

These fees go toward items like competition entry fees, uniforms, music arrangement, choreography, clinicians, props, and participation at the state competition in April.

Incoming Freshmen or those new to the Elkins Band Program may have additional purchases.

The first guard payment of $200 includes a non-refundable deposit on the costume for the marching show. It is due by December 1.

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 treasurer@elkinsband.org.
