LHS BAND BOOSTERS What do we do? We support the music programs that are not funded or staffed by FCPS through volunteering and financial support. Why participate? There are approximately 120 students in these programs, and volunteers make the program run! Volunteer hours among all members average between 8,000 – 10,000 hours per year. Hours are submitted to FCPS at the end of every year to show the strength of our programs. What does the Boosters cover? Marching Band, Indoor Guard, Concert Band, Jazz Band, Symphonic Band, bus transportation and band vehicles, uniforms, insurance, instructor fees, and much more!
NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization per IRS regulations – all monies are the property of the corporation Each student has a “share” of the cost to run the program and is expected to contribute their fair share to the organization. Share= total operating costs –“buy down” funds the number of students
PROGRAM COSTS • Expense above and beyond what FCPS provides Competition costs • Music, drill writing, show rights, and large instruments • Vehicle maintenance & Insurance • Stipends for many of the marching band staff
UNIFORM FEES Includes any uniform for a music program including marching band / guard, concert, jazz, and indoor guard. Additional uniform pieces will be charged as needed and must be paid separately outside of your share of the operating expenses. This includes concert shirts, gloves/wristbands, band tee-shirt, and marching shoes.
SPRING TRIP The Spring Trip is optional. We will be traveling to Walt Disney World this year on March 11-16, 2020. Students must be academically eligible and have contributed their full share of operating expenses to go on the trip.
