Concert band fees are necessary to help us fund our program and provide many additonal opportunities for students. Funds help us pay for a host of items and support CCSD does not fund. We purchase music the students play, pay for instrument repairs (very costly), pay for administrative support and percussion staff, software to help us run the program, weekly sectional coaches that come weekly that are instrument specific to help students improve, and many other items. These dues are the lifeblood to help us support our program and allow us to have a positive impact on every student and support their music abilities.
