Student Accounts

    • Parents may request their student’s account balance and deposit detail by emailing the Student Accounts Treasurer: ocbandtreasurers@gmail.com
  • Student allocation varies by fundraiser.
    • Example 1: Band Daze – Fall & Spring
      • Students travel door-to-door collecting funds.
      • All proceeds are divided equally between performers.
    • Example 2: Snack Shack
      • Parents/students work the snack shack during basketball games and a portion of the sales goes back to the band. This is a general band fund fundraiser.
    • Example 3: Bunco/Raffle/Silent Aucion
      • Students who sell tickets receive half of the ticket sale, the other half goes to the general band fund.
