BAND TRIP

Thank you for attending last night’s meeting and for all the great questions.  Here are some answers that we didn’t have last night.  Thank you for your patience!!

“How do I know how much money my student has for the trip?”

• Email Beth and Kelli:  treasurer@coopersvillebands.org and accounts@coopersvillebands.org. Please include your student’s name and grade in the email.

“How do I request my student’s funds?”

• Go to the Coopersvillebands.org webpage and under Band Boosters click on Payment Form.  Submit the form online or print it and have your student put it in the black box located next to the director’s office.
• Your student can ask for the form from the directors.
• Write your request for funds on the band trip coupon that was handed out at last night’s meeting. Just make sure your student’s name, grade and how much you are requesting.

“Can parents use their student’s fund to help pay for their trip if they are going as a chaperone?”  

•  Yes.  Use the same form as above.

Please keep in mind that we are juggling a lot of numbers and fundraisers to help make this trip less of a financial burden.  Please be patient with us as we are doing our best.   If you have any other financial questions, please feel free to contact Beth or Kelli and they would be happy to help!
