Grey Ghost Color Guard

Participation fees for Winter Guard are separate from Marching Band fees and are necessary to support the costs of the Winter Guard Program. Without fees, we would not be able to participate in MWCGC each year. In an effort to keep fees as low as possible, we also require the kids to participate in an annual fundraiser where proceeds go directly to Winter Guard.

Each year the Directors along with your Executive Booster Board determines the funds needed to participate in the program based on previous years expenses, expected expenses for the year, and the number of students we expect to have participating. 

The IVC Band Boosters is a registered non-profit organization therefore, our budget is for a zero profit or loss. Fees are kept as low as possible to ensure maximum participation. No student will be excluded for financial reasons however, it is your responsibility as a parent, along with your student, to participate in the many fundraising activities that are available to pay these fees. 

The Individual Ledger fundraisers we offer to our students and parents can completely off-set the fees, if optimized.

Please feel free to ask any questions along the way and attend booster meetings so you can see where every dollar goes.
