Mighty Mustang Band Assessments
What is a Band Assessment?
A band assessment is the non-school provided costs for a student in band or color guard. The
Assessments Directors will mail assessment statements to you several times during the year.
Statements will include information on assessed fees, payments made, service credits
received, and remaining balances.
Who do I contact if I have questions about my assessment statement?
The Assessments Director for 2008 - 2008 is Barbara White. Please email questions
to bjwhite5@tx.rr.com.
Please write or call any time you
have a question about your assessment statement and/or balances.
What does the Band Assessment cover?
For the Pearce High School Band, non-school provided funds are required in three areas:
- REGISTRATION
"Registration" fees are assessed for expenses such as gloves, shoes,
uniform cleaning, refreshments during marching season, color guard
uniforms and bags, instrument rentals, and more. The amount to be paid
varies depending on the individual equipment needs of the students, the
number of students in the band program, and whether your student marches
or is in the color guard or is a drum major. This is a required fee for
all band and color guard students (including color guard who are not in a concert band), and it is paid at
band registration during summer band.
- OPERATIONS
"Operations" money is used to support all activities of the band not
covered under the headings of registration and spring trip. Supplies,
staff assistance, entry fees, clinicians, and student development are
examples of Operations expenses. The Operations fee for 2008 - 2009 is approximately $170. This is a required fee
for all band and color guard students (including color guard not in a concert band) and will be due in at Band Registration.
- SPRING TRIP
This year the spring trip destination has not yet been announced. Students must pay
the cost of transportation,
accommodations, and other miscellaneous trip expenses. We expect that the trip fee will be approximately $500. The first payment (approximately 1/3 of the trip fee) is
usually due in December. The second payment consisting of the second 1/3 of trip fees is usually due
in February, and any unpaid Registration and/or Operations fees, along with the balance of
the trip fees is due prior to final trip deadlines. To aid in spreading
out this cost, you may make partial payments at any time before the fee is due.
