Fees & Fundraising

Fees for 2024

Funding a competitive marching season is expensive. Instruments, uniforms, music, drill, summer instructors, registration fees, student t-shirts, and a host of other costs exceed the allotment that Bedford County provides to our ensemble. We supplement those allotted funds with student fees and fundraisers.

Fees for the 2024 Marching Minutemen season are $200.00 per student. Several options for payment plans are available to accommodate families. 

After registering, please send payments in a sealed envelope to your child's band director, or mail them to:

Liberty High School Music
ATTN: Will Satterwhite, Band Director
100 Liberty Minutemen Drive
Bedford, Virginia 24523

If your family is unable to pay the full fee now, we have several other options for spreading out the $200.00 fee to fit your budget. Please carefully read through the options listed in the Marching Minutemen Commitment Form and choose the one that fits your financial situation best.

***   All payments must be made payable to "Liberty High School."   ***

Fundraising

All members of the Marching Minutemen are required to participate in our fundraisers. Everyone benefits, so everyone is expected to do their part throughout the season to support the band and offset costs. The success of our fundraisers and the work of our parent organization - the Liberty Music Boosters - is the way that we are able to keep our fees considerably lower than almost every other marching program in our region.

Planned fundraisers for the 2024 Marching Band season include, but are not limited to:

Additionally, our Liberty Music Boosters engage in fundraising and support for the music program throughout the school year. We ask that every Marching Minutemen family attends our monthly booster meetings on the third Tuesday of each month from 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM in the LHS Band Room. At these meetings and through our email list, you'll get information about opportunities to support our Minutemen Musicians in a way that fits your time, energy, and ability.
