  MBA members are expected to attend all   Marching Band events which are listed in the   Quick Reference Calendar.

  be in an instrumental music class.
  Marching Band Camp starts on Monday
  two full weeks prior to the start of school.
  Marching Band season ends two weekends
  before Thanksgiving.

  Marching Band Fees are required because
  MBA is not a class.

  Make checks payable to NIMB or Northgate
  Instrumental Music Boosters or use the
  Northgate High School Web Store.
  Contact the NIMB treasurer to arrange
  a payment plan.
  NIMB Federal Tax ID #68-0130808.

  The fee in 2011 is $485 for Marching Band,
  $300 for Auxiliary, and $635 for Drumline.
  Only the highest fee is paid; for example if a
  student is in Marching Band and Drum Line
  then he/she pays the highest fee, not the
  sum of the two fees. New Marching Band
  shoes cost $38.00. Another expense is the
  Marching Band sweatshirt.
  Optional purchases are sweatpants, T-shirt,
  individual and group photo(s), and
  SantaCruz ride pass, and T-shirt.

Regular music classes' fees are waived for
students participating in Marching Band and Auxiliary.
