Each student has a student account set up with our band boosters.  Any money earned through fundraisers, parent-paid fees and donations made to that student will go into this account. The money is used for participation fees, trip/travel expenses, private lessons, and equipment purchases for that specific student. There are fundraisers where all the money goes into the student’s account and some where a portion will go into the band general fund for instructional expenses, equipment purchases, maintenance, etc.

Many families have paid for their entire band fee using fundraising alone.

SCRIP is �substitute money�. When you purchase scrip, you�re purchasing negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use SCRIP to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue for your student's account and our organization.

The Outsourcing Services generates extra revenue for the band.  On occasion we are offered job tasks such as completing mailings by stuffing envelopes, assembling product information notebooks or assembling sample packs for a fee. Workers are paid based on the amount of time they participate.

It is through Fundraising that the Boosters continue to maintain a quality band program, purchasing those items that are not provided by the Fayette County Board of Education in particular musical instruments and marching uniforms.
