2024-2025 MNHHS Band Student Fees
BAND FEES AND EXPENSES
Because of the expenses incurred in the operation of the band program, it is necessary for the band boosters to ask each student to pay a band fee. We are proud to say that our fee is one of the lowest in the state. Many bands are requiring students to pay fees in excess of $1000, but our boosters work very hard to raise the needed funds enabling us to keep the fee affordable for most people. We want every child to participate and no child will be turned away because they cannot afford to pay the band fees. See payment options below. Please feel free to contact Mr. Emerson for more details.
It might amaze you that in a typical year, the Maroon Band raises over $80,000. We (boosters and directors) budget the band expenses through 2 funds, the “booster account” and the “school account”. The “school account” is where your $400 band dues are deposited, and will cover these items for the 2024-25 school year.
School account responsibilities
Camp staff/Supplemental instruction
KMEA fees (KMEA, and festivals)
Transportation
H&H (supplies and repairs of old equip)
Percussion
Copyright fees
Photography
Band Fee = $400.00
Boosters voted to increase to help offset increasing expenses, and MNH Band fees remain some of the lowest in KY due to the generosity of the band booster program.
Payment methods-
1) cash or check (made out to “Madisonville North Hopkins HS”). Students will be given a receipt by a director. Contact ([email protected]) with questions about your balance.
2) The Hopkins Co school board approved the fee increase voted on by the MNHHS Band Boosters, Inc. in May 2024.
Here is what passed the school board : $416.25 - Band Fee, Purpose: meals for band trips, transportation costs, supplies, uniform cleaning and repair, and camp instruction, and other band related student needs
We have been asked to stop payments from our square account, located on marchingmaroons.com.
We can only accept cash or check until the school system rolls out their credit debit card system, sometime in July 2024.
