We Were Hoping For $5...

We never know each year when we go into the Balloon Festival events just how much revenue will be generated. The conversation goes something like this: "Well, we HOPE to be able to credit $5 per hour volunteered - we'll see how things go this year". Well folks, the final numbers are in, and the amount credited for each recorded hour is (drumroll, please)...

$5 - YAY!

"Oh joy, oh rapture unforeseen, 
the clouded sky is now serene!" 
(Bonus points to those who know the musical reference...)


So when YOU want to use any or all of the amount that has been credited to YOUR student account - to buy a tuner, purchase guard equipment, or 

**ahem** PAY BAND FEES **ahem**, 

YOU must complete a transfer form and deposit it to the Black Box. This step is essential - nothing happens to YOUR account until and unless YOU submit that transfer form. 

And when YOU are prioritizing how to use those student account funds, may we please remind everyone that the BAND FEES are used to pay the bills, so that we can all run our fabulous Jazz, Concert, Symphonic, Wind, Marching, WG, and WDL programs. 

Carry on...
