Director Card Sales

  • These were due Friday September 5th. After Friday September 12th, students will be charged $100.00 to their Band Booster Student Account for cards/money not turned in. 

Band Fees

Our 2025 Band Fee is $275.00. This fee is paid to the New Philadelphia Band Boosters and helps cover the cost of Band Camp, uniform cleanings, etc. Students are provided the opportunity to reduce their band fee through participation in Band Booster Sponsored fundraisers throughout the school year. Here is an example of what students can earn to help reduce the cost of their band fee:

Fundraiser: The Director Card 

Cost: Each Card Sold for $10

Student Credit Earned: $5 for each card sold

This credit will be reflected in your Band Booster Statement you will receive later in the school year from our booster treasurer Melissa Grant. 

By December 1st the New Philadelphia Band Boosters will need to pay for band camp 2025, which amounts to approximately $20,000. As a family, if you have decided not to participate in Band Booster Sponsored Fundraisers, we kindly ask you to consider paying $125.00 towards your students’ band fees by November 1. Any checks should be made payable to the NP Band Boosters, put inside of an envelope labeled with your Child’s Name/Band Fees and deposited in the Black Box in the NPHS Band Room. Thank you for your consideration.
