SANDERSON HIGH SCHOOL BAND FAIR SHARE PROGRAM

2010-2011 Fair Share

Fair share for 2010-2011 will be $720.00 per marching student. This money covers band camp and the standard costs for band season. Students participating in Concert Band or Wind Ensemble and not in marching band pay a fair share of $110.00.

The band is proposing a Spring Trip for the Band. The cost of this trip is not included in the fair share assessment. But you may use the fundraisers to build up your balance (over and above $720.00) to pay for any trips.

The Marching Band fair share payments are due as follows:

$200.00 with signed commitment form due by May 18

$130.00 due by June 15

$100.00 due by July 15

$100 due by Sep 15

$100 due by Oct 15

$90 due by Nov 15

The Non-Marching fair share payment is due as follows:

Fall Semester Students, $110 due October 1

Spring Semester Students, $110 due February 1, 2011

Note: If your non-marching student is in a classroom band both semesters, only one payment is due.

We have a number of programs you can participate in to raise funds that are credited to your fair share account. For details, click the Fundraising link in the menu at left.

Fair Share Tips

You can help us greatly by following these suggestions:

You may request notices periodically of what your fair share balance is or of what you owe. We assume that it is correct if we do not hear from you. Mistakes are easier to correct the sooner we find out about them. The longer you wait, the harder it is to trace the problem and in some cases, if too much time has elapsed, we may not be able to correct the problem.

Please do not give payments to the band director. Payments should be mailed to:
Sanderson Band Boosters
P.O. Box 99370
Raleigh, NC 27624-9370
Cash payments are discouraged. Write your student's name in the memo line on your check.

When delivering payments to the fair share coordinator in person, put them in an envelope clearly marked with your name and your student's name (especially if your child's last name is different from your own). If it is after a meeting or a time when an envelope is not available, make sure we have written down the amount, the name, and what it is for. Thank you for double-checking us!

When sending in checks from people who have bought something from you, please put your student's name and the order or fundraiser, e.g. dining guide, flowers, etc. in the memo space on each check you collect. This makes it easier for us to trace the band member who brought in the check if we need to.

You are receiving benefits from the fair share money that you pay, therefore, it is not tax deductible.

Please be reminded of the following:
- Any Credit Balance at year end will be automatically rolled over to your child's fair share balance for the following year if returning to band.
- The only amount that can be returned to you is that money which you have personally contributed in cash, up to the remaining balance in your account, only for the current year.
- According to the SHS Band Booster By-laws, your child's fair share cannot be transferred to anyone else except a sibling currently in band or rising to band.
