FINANCIAL OBLIGATION

As a member of the B.H.S. Marching Band and Color Guard it is your responsibility to help raise the funds for the operation of the program.  The following will explain the amounts, and the ways they can be obtained.


2014:


  1. •Students will be given a "Fund Raising Commitment" Goal including fund raisers to reach the goal. 

  2. •You will have 4 deadlines to meet - $50 by July 1, $100 by August 18, $150 by September 18 & $215 by October 19. If you use the fundraisers, such as the ad-book, you need pay NOTHING out of pocket! (and the dates are slightly different)

•100% of the fund raisers will go towards their "Fund Raising Commitment" goal. 

•If they MEET the goal, then NO out of pocket funds are required. 

•If they go UNDER the "Fund Raising Commitment" goal, then they must pay the difference out of pocket, by the date indicated. 

•If they go OVER the goal, they can use the additional credits to pay for overnight trips etc.

•Students who have parents that DO NOT participate in the Cavalcade of Bands and WGI Show will have an additional amount ($35 per event) added to their "Fund Raising Commitment" goal.

•Students who have a financial hardship may seek assistance or a payment plan. This is through the Principal ONLY.

•Siblings will have the "Fund Raising Commitment" reduced automatically by $50.


So what will this look like?


"Betty Clarinet" is a member of the band. Here is what her "Fund Raising Commitment" will look like:


Betty must sell $415 in ads for the Cavalcade ad book. This must be completed by October 1, 2014. If she goes UNDER the goal, then she must pay the difference out of pocket, by 10/19/13. If she goes OVER the goal, then she can use the credits to pay for other things, such as overnight trips etc. Please see ad book form info below...


Betty can use shake-a-can, car washes, ads, bulbs, mums, pies/cookie dough and holiday flowers to raise any difference, as well as raise funds for any Band related travel expenses such as The National Championships or other extended Band Trips.


The total raised by Betty will be $415


Betty will now receive 100% credits for all ads, shake-a-can, car washes, bulbs, mums, pies/cookie dough, and holiday flowers. NONE of those fundraisers will go towards the general fund that helps everyone. The General Fund fund raisers will include - Returnables, Burger King, Bun N' Burger, Cookbook, Cavalcade, Indoor Winter Guard/Drumline Show Stratford Day Water Sales, Clothing Drive, Matching Gifts, Donations, Touch a Truck, etc. These will go towards "Bridging the Gap" to help ALL STUDENTS.


In addition - If Betty's Parents DO NOT volunteer at the Cavalcade of Bands and the WGI (Winter Season Show) her "Fund Raising Commitment" goal will be increased by additional $35 per event. 


If Betty has a Financial Hardship and anticipates a problem with the "Fund Raising Commitment"- she will seek assistance (Payment Plan or Work Plan). She will be required to attend fund raisers such as Returnables (once a month). She may be given a lower fund raising goal, if she works at the returnables etc. She may also request a weekly budget plan as well.


That's the plan. There may be some bugs that we haven't planned on, but in general, this takes some of the stress off the Parent Group and "Motivates" students and parents to use the fund raising and attend the big events, such as the Cavalcade of Bands.


Remember - Band is not mandatory. You do not have to participate. But if you choose to participate, you MUST share in the "Fund Raising Commitment" to help fund this outstanding program.


In Addition -

•A % of all of the profits from additional fundraisers or in trip years - “Trip Fundraisers” - will be applied toward the student's "individual credit account." (“ICA”). This account is a non-interest bearing account that the Band and Color Guard Parents and school system use to keep track of each student’s earnings. This account is used to draw from when we take trips, or to meet the following years obligations. When a student graduates, his or her ICA can be transferred to a relative, in the same family within 4 calendar years. If there is no relative to "will" the ICA to, the funds will then be placed in the general account, upon graduation.

•Refund policy – refunds, or partial refunds, may be given in the circumstance of injury where a student is physically unable to perform and would miss more than half of the 10-week season. A student who is removed from the group because of discipline, attendance, or any other reason will not be eligible for any refund. Any student who quits the group at any time will not receive a refund. The Band Director and the Band Parents organization President will examine all refund requests on a case-by-case situation.

•Students who join after band camp MAY have a pro-rated commitment.


XI. THE BUNNELL HIGH SCHOOL CAVALCADE AND/OR INDOOR GUARD/PERCUSSION SHOW

Each year the BHS Band and Color Guard hosts a cavalcade of Band and Color Guards and an indoor guard/drumline show.

The BHS Band and Color Guard does not compete in the Cavalcade, but may compete in the indoor shows. The Cavalcade and Color Guard Show is usually held at BHS.


Each student and his/her family will have several responsibilities:


•Set up cavalcade site

•Playing "host"- helping other groups around our facility and making them feel welcome.

•Working in the stands – airgrams, buttons, 50/50, food, etc.


Students who have Parents who DO NOT participate in the Cavalcade of Bands and WGI/Indoor Show will have an additional amount ($35 per event) added to their "Fund Raising Commitment" goal.
