Marching Band parent were asked to fund raise last year 2017 through the whole person fund raiser. We were told that the monies earned would be available for our marching band kids to use through out their band career. So we all fund raiser like crazy so that our children would have the monies for more than one year. NOW the 2018 marching band season has started all monies from our accounts have been removed and we were told now that the money could only be used for that current year. The parents were not told that. We would not have participated in the fund raising if that was going to be the case. Respress stated, tell everyone that donated that it is a writ off on the taxes and that the band booster is a non profit. When questioned about the 2017 monies raised no clear answer has been given except those monies have been absorbed in to the Schools general band fund. I think that is not fair to all that raised the money. Now Respress want us to pay 750.00 more on top of our band dues for a trip that may not even happen. I feel that parents were mislead to get us to fund raise. I will not be given any more money to the band booster if this is how it is going to be. If the money raised in 2017 would have remained in the charms accounts as was stated it would, then many of the children cost of the trip would have been already covered.
