Meal Deal

MEAL DEAL INFO

We know this fee may seem significant at first to many parents, but we want to take the time and answer some questions you may have about it. In our experience, parents usually end up spending more during the season when the band stops at restaurants on the way to games. 

Using this approach to meals for away games and band contests allows for much easier logistics on the part of students and parents. Essentially, we will have a meal catered to the band hall, or another location, that we are able to quickly pass out to students. It is often very difficult to find bus parking near restaurants and get kids through those lines quickly enough to stay on schedule. 

The Meal Deal does not cover home games. Students are expected to provide their own dinner, since there is ample time between school release and call time. For students who stay at the school, we will offer some kind of meal at our concessions on these days at 5:00 pm at a reduced price. 

In order for us to provide this to students, our band boosters are in the position of having to purchase these meals. However, they are not in the position to cater to a large number of students without collecting funds. We looked to other programs close to our size to compare fees before making this decision. Most programs are charging quite a bit more than we are.

THE FULL $100 DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PAID RIGHT AWAY. Partial payments may be made throughout the year. Balances will be reflected in Presto. All we ask from students is that they bring $10 each week. Each meal is $10, and we plan to purchase 10 meals (some for football games, some for contests).

All meals will be purchased for all students. If you believe you should not be charged for a particular meal, or if you would like to opt your student out of the Meal Deal, please just email Mr. Olson.

By opting out of the Meal Deal, you agree that you and your student will be responsible for bringing their own meals to games and contests.

We absolutely want every student to be able to eat. If you have any financial concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out and let us know. We will meet whatever need that we can. 

The "meal deal" fee may be paid for by fundraising. If you have any questions or concerns, please email Mr. Olson.
