[quote=Anonymous]Kids who needed financial assistance were supposed to contact the band director.  How the cost (or partial deduction) would be covered was not specified.  It was also not specified what families needed to submit to show financial need.

Our family income would be considered high by county standards, probably middle income for the school.  However, our discretionary income is not extravagant after monthly expenses are paid.  It would be embarrassing to ask for a handout and I would not want to disclose private financial information to school officials.  There are also FARMS kids in our school that I would think should be given priority for financial assistance.

I lieu of asking for financial assistance, some kids are staying behind because of the expense.  It seems disappointing that for a school sponsored activity that children are excluded because of the insensitivity of the planners to consider the cost prohibitive.  This problem is ingrained in many activities at the school.[/quote]
