Resource person: Sarah Ferholt (sarahferholt@bns146.org)

Description:

Welcome back!! We are still working out our fall schedule but most likely returning instrumental band will be on Wednesdays afterschool. Schedule permitting, we will provide mixed-instrumental ensemble instruction for our 4th and 5th year returning students.  Need more details? Click "More Information" below.  Ready to register now? Click the RED button below. 

Don’t freak out… donations to band are made by clicking the red "register" button and  selecting the “membership” level that is right for you.

Donation information - We believe that if everyone participates at the levels outlined below in our sliding scale band will be fully funded, so that everyone in our community can participate. To make band possible we need everyone to donate what they can. Suggested donation amounts are below. Without your contributions the band cannot be funded. 

SEE WHICH INCOME BRACKET YOUR FAMILY FALLS INTO:  When selecting a level on our sliding scale, we encourage families to contribute at the level that is right for them, a level that is meaningful, significant, and affordable. If you are able to donate the amount on the higher end of the sliding scale, please do so as a way of demonstrating your commitment to fair pay for our staff, and equal opportunity for ALL children to learn instrumental music.

WHY A SLIDING SCALE?  A sliding scale donation structure gives all families the opportunity to access our programs. We believe everyone has a right to make music in community and to learn to play an instrument. In order to build a music program that is open to and created by all, we believe a sliding scale will increase access for our students and families, and provide a richer, better experience for everyone who participates. Our sliding scale requires your active participation. Building economic justice takes some time and effort. By using a sliding scale, we are practicing economic solidarity: we are cooperating with all BNS families to create a more equitable, inclusive and just community. We hope that our broad sliding scale allows more people to participate.

When you check out you will be offered donation amounts to pick from.  If one of these amounts seems right for your family based on your household income ranges, please select it, and check out (and thank you).  If the amounts we offered below don’t make sense for your family, please do pick the “Speak with Sarah”  option so we can meet your needs.  All donations are Tax Deductible.
