Winter Programs Membership Agreement 2024 - 2025

1. I, (Parents/Guardians and Student Members), understand that participating in general fundraising activities is required.
2. I understand that the success of our program is based in large part on the participation of parents.  Fundraisers will be planned at various times throughout the season.  Certain events will be conducted as general fundraising for the entire program.  It is each student's/parent's responsibility to obtain an understanding of the fundraising purposes, dates, and activities.  Information on each event will be made available on the band website.
3. Attendance is a critical aspect of my membership within my chosen winter activity.  I will receive rehearsal and performance schedules and understand that the only reason I will be excused from them will be due to a medical/family emergency or at the discretion of the coaches.
4. I will be responsible for my equipment (unless privately owned), which is the property of Temecula Valley High School Band and Color Guard.  I may be financially responsible for damage and/or replacement from negligent use of said property while it is in my possession.  All equipment will be returned (unless privately owned) to the Temecula Valley High School Band and Color Guard at the end of the season, or when my membership in the Temecula Valley High School Band and Color Guard is completed.
5. I understand that as a member I must secure my own transportation to and from all offsite venues and that I will NOT be allowed to transport myself or other students to these venues.
6. I understand and agree that the Temecula Valley High School Band and Color Guard may use my image, sound and likeness in press releases, on their website and in promotional materials related to my participation in this activity.
7. I fully understand that this is a group activity in which my personal involvement and commitment is imperative to the group as a whole.
8. I will abide by the code of ethics and policies set forth by TVHS band, CSBC, SCPA, WGASC, and any other organization we compete in.
9. If collective monthly donation goals are not met, I understand that the activity could be suspended and any monies already contributed are forfeited. 

Fees

Financial Contributions are the only way that our group will have the funds to operate.  Your fee is the amount of money that we need contributed to our group in order for us to participate in and run this program.  Winter programs are optional, and expensive to maintain.  The cost includes coaching, music, props, show design, show registration, and equipment transportation.

These expenses, equally divided among all participants in the group, come out to approximately $500 per student for Winter Percussion, and $400 per student for Winter Guard.  The amount varies based on which program the student is participating in and how many students are in the group.  Please see the pledge sheet for a further explanation of these amounts.  It is necessary that you commit to either donating and/or fundraising to ensure that we can begin and finish the 2024-2025 season.

Students/Parents are responsible for keeping informed of dates, or changes in dates for: rehearsals, event schedules, meeting dates, fundraising activities and other events by accessing the calendar on app.gocuttime.com.

I will support the TVHS Golden Valley Regiment and pledge the below amount to the Winter Program.

My pledge will be paid on a schedule to meet monthly group fundraising goals set forth by the band director according to our expenses and budget.  I understand that I will be responsible for paying any bank charges that the TVHS Band Boosters incur if a check/s I wrote is/are returned because of insufficient funds.

You may submit fees via cash or check (payable to TVHS Band Boosters) to the booster box outside of Mr. Cowee's office.  Or you may pay online via the PayPal link on our band website: https://www.tvhsband.com/shop.  Online payments will have an added 2.5%, to cover the PayPal transaction fee.

*** A deposit of $200 is due at parent meeting on December 9, 2025.  If this date presents a difficulty for your family, please contact Mr. Cowee to make alternate arrangements.  We plan to do a fundraiser in January, to help bring down the per student cost.  The amount raised will be divided equally among all students who participate.  We will also have a candy fundraiser, which will benefit the individual who sells the product.
