Band/Guard Fees 11-12

Due to the fact that band activities and needs are not paid for by the school, other than providing an instructor, fees are necessary to keep our top rated band program available to our students. Band fees for the school year 2011-2012 are as follows:

Marching Band (8^th – 12^th) - $500

Color Guard - $400 + Uniform and accessories as required per instructor

Manager - $100 + $50 middle school band fee

Middle School Band - $100

Multiple band siblings

2 Marching - $800

1 Marching + 1 Color Guard - $700 + Color Guard uniform and accessories

1 Marching or Color Guard + Manager – Middle School fee will be waived.

Please note that at this time we will not have concessions available during football season to earn money for student accounts. Those who work the rodeo on July 16^th will receive a concession donation to their account. There will be many areas that evening that will need workers. Don’t miss your chance to sign up. It’s not limited to immediate family; send your aunt, uncle, grandparents or cousins in to work for a student.

There will be fundraisers throughout the year. These fundraisers will help students earn money for their student account as well as keep fees under control and provide students with the tools they need to be successful. Information about fundraisers is provided at Band Booster Meetings. Fundraisers are organized by the Ways and Means Committee, who can also be contacted regarding fundraising information. For more information about student accounts, see the Ringgold Band Boosters, Inc. By Laws or email goringgoldband@ringgoldband.org.

The students are proud to be a member of the Ringgold Tiger Band. Let’s keep their program a success!
