Fair Share Payments


Fair Share Payment Information for 2018-2019

The county does not financially support the marching band. The Fair Share Payment (FSP) help cover the cost of running a high quality, successful, and competitive music program at the high school level. The fees per ensemble are based on our past history costs to run each group and are re-evaluated during every budget cycle.


FSPs provide the following:

  • Music licenses for the music your students perform
  • Instrument maintenance for program owned equipment
  • Transportation to competitions
  • Entrance fees for competitions
  • Consumable materials for drumline and colorguard
  • Equipment repairs
  • Uniform tailoring


2018-2019 Schedule of FSP:

  • $150 Marching Band
  • $ 25 Concert Band
  • $ 25 Orchestra
  • $ 50 Jazz Band
  • $ 50 Steel Drum Band
  • Pay early discounts are available

FSP can be paid in full, using an auto installment plan over 9 months, or by choosing a deposit amount. Students must be in good standing to fully participate in music activities. Good standing means fully paid, participating in a payment plan, or other arrangements between the parent, student, and music director.
