High School Band Annual Dues

​All Atascocita HS band students must purchase the Annual Due of $300.
​THE ANNUAL DUE IS A FAIR SHARE FEE OF THE PROGRAM THAT NOW INCLUDES DRYCLEANING.
  • The purpose of the Fair Share Band Fee is to help with the various expenses that are necessary to run a quality band program that are in addition to the district budget of the program. To operate a “competitive” program, the band directors offer an activity fee that is budgeted to items where everyone in the band benefits. These expenses include educational clinicians and consultants by top professionals in the field for the entire band on all various instruments including the color guard. Other covered expenses may include additional marching competition items, additional contest entry fees and expenses; band leadership conferences; and many additional items, including competitive marching coordinators, designers, choreographers, drill writers, and so much more. The Fair Share Band Dues system divides the costs of services and supplies that benefit all Band members among the entire Band membership. When all band members pay their Fair Share Dues, the costs can be held to a reasonable amount.
  • Fair Share Activity Band Fees for the school year are determined by the directors of each campus at Atascocita High School. All students that participate in the competitive marching band program in some way are required to pay all fees determined by the band director of the campus.
  • All students are required to purchase all required materials for the band program at your campus - performance gear such as shirts, shorts, shoes, bags, flip folder, lyres, etc.
    • All payments for band fees are due no later than the first football game. Parents are more than welcome to pay their band fees before the deadline and at band registration. ​
