What Fees Cover

Marching Band Fees

Even for a veteran marching band family, we understand the fee schedule and info can be a little overhwelming. Not to mention it takes a lot of funds to put together a nationally recognized marching band performance. That's why our program has broken down fees into smaller payments and provides need-based assistance to qualified applicants. 

Marching Band fees are broken up into 3 categories:

1. School Fees
2. Student Experience Fees
3. Consumable Fees

School Fees

School fees are paid directly to Mason City Schools via EZPay. They cover expenses like:

• Show, Music & Drill Design and Choreography
• Brass, Woodwind, Percussion, Color Guard, & Visual Staff
• Transporation, Equipment, & Competition Uniform

Student Experience Fees

Experience fees are paid to the Mason Band Boosters. Like the name suggests, these fees enhance the students' Marching Band experience, especially for travel. It covers costs like:

• Hotels, Meals, Transportation
• Charter Buses & Truck Rentals

Consumable Fees

Consumable Fees cover costs for uniforms and required supplies that are needed each year. These fees are paid to the Mason Band Boosters.
