The goal of the VHS Band
Program is to strive to put on a superior musical performance every time
the band takes the stage or the field. The Band Boosters maintain a very
large budget to run the band program all year with this goal in mind. As
part of an extensive fundraising program, each band member is required
to contribute a “Fair Share” to help supplement the Band Boosters
budget. Students may fundraise their portion of the “Fair Share” or they
may pay directly “out of pocket”. You will find an explanation of the
two types of fundraisers that the Band Boosters sponsor towards the
bottom of this page.

FUNDRAISING
There will be an extensive fundraising
program in order to raise money for the band. The two types of
fundraisers are General Fundraisers and Individual Account Fundraisers.
The following is an explanation of each type of fundraiser:
General Fundraiser
The purpose of a general fundraiser is to
raise money for the Band Booster general fund. This money is used to
supplement the operating budget used by the Boosters to run the band
program all year. The amount of money that is raised will help determine
the amount of “Fair Share” for the following year.
Individual Account Fundraiser
Each student in the band program has an
individual account, much like a bank account with no interest. Each time
an individual account fundraiser is done, every participating student
will have money deposited into his/her account based on how much product
is sold or how long the student works. In other words, the more effort a
student puts into the fundraiser, the more money is put into their
account. These fundraisers are a great way for students to pay for “Fair
Share”, band trips, private lessons, and band related equipment.
Money in the individual account will
always be used to pay down “Fair Share” first before it may be
used for trips or any other band related expenses.
