[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In such a well-funded district where band kids at our HS are required to go door-to-door asking for money from neighbors on Tag Day (and this is the biggest fundraiser, raising something like $20k), why is it that we still have to pay a $50 band fee?? We do not rent an instrument, already supplement with outside lessons, and purchased an overpriced home for this “great” district. Why do I constantly feel nickel and dimed? Anyone else annoyed? What fees are you paying for your kid’s public education?[/quote] $50 band fee is nothing. Go ask the Crew team how much they have to pay for Crew participation.[/quote] I feel like $50 is the amount my mom donated so we wouldn't have to buy decorative candles and dry cookies from my public school choir in the 1980s. Our band and orchestra is relatively cheap but the kids have to do TAG days for booster money. This year we may have to pay $30 and buy a black shirt.[/quote]
