Point Rules
Effective as of June 27, 2005
The term “band” will include Marching Band, Concert Band, and Color Guard students. Each band student will have a separate Student Point Fund established upon joining the CHS band for the purpose of keeping a record of individual student profit earned through fundraising efforts.
Students can earn points through fundraising efforts throughout the year in order to qualify for any scheduled trips. The amount of points needed for each trip varies depending upon the length and distance of the trip. These points will be logged separately for each student and an updated record of student point totals will be posted monthly in the band room.
Each dollar ($1.00) of fundraising PROFIT will be divided with one-third (1/3) credited to the General Band Fund and the remaining two-thirds (2/3) credited to the individual Student Point Fund.
The one-third (1/3) profit credited to the General Band Fund is used to cover general band expenses for the benefit of all band students (such as competition meal expenses, equipment repairs, concert refreshments, award plaques for the annual Awards Night, etc.).
Students are encouraged to accumulate their two-thirds (2/3) profit as a balance in their Student Point Fund to work toward paying for a band trip; however, students may use funds from their Student Point Fund for items needed for band (band t-shirt, dry cleaning costs, shoes, band camps, supplies, etc.). In order to use funds from the Student Point Fund, the student must fill out a Request Form and place it in the drop-box or give it to the Treasurer. Funds for camps, supplies, etc. should be requested using the Request Forms located above the Drop Box on the band office door and the check will be made payable directly to the business or camp. The check must be picked up from the Treasurer before the camp or purchase of items. Any exceptions will require the original printed receipt in order for reimbursement to be made to the parent or student.
Prior to any planned trips, parents/guardians may make payments toward the total cost of the trip with one hundred percent (100%) of the payment credited to the Student Point Fund. Any payments made by parents/guardians will be refunded in full to the parent/guardian if the student cancels plans for attending the trip for any reason before the required deadlines. After any deadlines, the student would lose any money for penalties as a result of the cancellation for any reason.
For any scheduled trip the Executive Committee will determine the maximum amount of funds that will be allowed to be used for additional expenses students might incur during the trip (souvenirs, snacks, meals not covered in trip costs, etc.) and present it to the Band Boosters for approval. Students who have points in excess of the amount needed for the trip may request to use extra funds from their Student Point Fund up to the maximum allowed for the trip as determined by the Executive Committee and approved by the Band Boosters.
Regardless of the Student Point Fund balance, no student will be allowed to participate in a trip if money is owed for fundraisers, equipment, uniforms, etc. until the debt is paid in full.
Graduating seniors (or band students moving out of CHS school district) have the following options for any unused Student Point Fund balance prior to leaving CHS:
-Transfer Student Point Fund balance to the General Band Fund.
-Transfer Student Point Fund balance to another current band student or an incoming freshman band student.
Freshmen, sophomores or juniors who drop out of band for a semester or who are not scheduled to participate in band the following year have the following options for any unused Student Point Fund balance:
-Request the Student Point Fund balance be held in their name until they return to the band.
-Transfer Student Point Fund balance to the General Band Fund.
-Transfer Student Point Fund balance to another current band student or an incoming freshman band student.
The CHS Band Boosters organization reserves the right to alter or adapt the above listed rules as needed; however, all changes to the Point Rules must be approved by the CHS Band Boosters and the CHS Board of Education.
EXAMPLES
For a $6.00 fundraising item sold with 50% PROFIT, $3.00 would pay for the cost of the item with $3.00 PROFIT. The $3.00 PROFIT would be divided with $1.00 credited to the General Band Fund and $2.00 credited to the Student Point Fund.
For a $6.00 fundraising item sold with 40% PROFIT, $3.60 would pay for the cost of the item with $2.40 PROFIT. The $2.40 PROFIT would be divided with $0.80 credited to the General Band Fund and $1.60 credited to the Student Point Fund.
