​

Payment by k12paymentcenter.com

K12paymentcenter.com is to be used for the $10 school class band fee ONLY.  Do not use this site for concert attire, marching band, jazz band, honor band, color guard fees, or trip payments.  This will result in requiring you to get a refund from the school and resubmitting your payment directly to the band program via cash, check or Square. 

​

Class Band Fees

There are two types of payments required for class band.  These are a $10 per semester school fee, and concert attire fees.  

​

School Fees

The $10 per semester school fee should be made by check payable to Cox Mill High School or can be paid online via the K12paymentcenter.com (this is the ONLY time you will use k12payment center for band fees).

​

Concert Attire

Concert attire fees will vary depending on the needs of each student.  These fees can be paid by a check made out to Charger Bands, or by credit card using our Square payment site.  

​

Marching Band Fee Payments

As explained in the Band Handbook, participation in marching band requires each student to pay two annual fees: a $500 marching band fee. If you have multiple siblings in marching band the same year, the band fee is reduced to $250 for each sibling after the first. Marching band fee payments can be made using a check or by credit card via the Square payment system. 

 

These fees are due based on the agreed schedule.

Student accounts not in good standing will not be able to participate in marching events until the account is brought current, and risk being removed from the program. Any exceptions may only be approved by the Band Booster board of directors. If personal hardship is preventing you from paying on time, please email our treasurer at treasurer@chargerbands.org.  All details will be kept confidential between you, the treasurer, and the band director. If a student leaves the program at any point in the season, a refund will not be issued of the payments made. Due to the show design process, if a student chooses to leave the program all fees will need to be paid up till date of departure.
