Band Fees
IMPORTANT: All marching band fees from the previous year (2022-23) MUST be paid IN FULL for your student to participate in the upcoming marching band practices and season.
If you have a delinquent account, your student WILL NOT be able to participate in marching band until their account balance is paid in full.
If you have a delinquent account, your student WILL NOT be able to participate in indoor winter groups until their marching band balance is paid in full.
Contact Gwendolyn Winderlich or Adam Bess with questions or comments.
MAKE A BAND PAYMENT
Please contact the Band Booster Treasurer should you need flexibility or assistance with our financial obligations. All correspondence is kept strictly confidential.
To participate in the DCHS Bands and Guard Program means you understand the financial obligations set forth. Our group is the most active in the entire school corporation. Consequently, we incur expenses that are not covered by the school district. As a result, fees are charged to each member to cover costs incurred while participating in the organization.
You will be notified in advance of all costs and given a formal timeline for payment. Keep in mind that a student’s HS diploma may be withheld until all financial obligations are met.
Financial Accountability: It is expected that all fee payments be made according to the published predetermined payment schedule. If for any reason you are unable to adhere to the predetermined payment schedule you MUST communicate such to the Treasurer and put in place a Payment Plan Agreement immediately. This agreement must be agreed upon and signed by both the parent and the Treasurer.
