2017-2018 HMS Band Fee
At the beginning of the 2016-2017 academic year, we will be collecting a Middle School Band Fee. The fee is $100 for 7th and 8th Grade Band Members and $50 for 6th Grade Band Members and will be collected in August -- checks made out to "Heritage Middle School". This non-refundable fee will cover uniform shirts, all honor band and festival registrations and acceptance fees, school instrument use, and all bus trips/meals. This will mean we will NOT collect fees at any other time throughout the year. We will still conduct fundraisers to help buy large instruments and repairs, but as always, participation will be optional. Also, any special trip that requires an overnight stay will be extra -- and optional!!!
