Dues

The initial dues payment is past due, and the next one will be due next week. You can find the dues schedule here. Dues can be paid via Givebacks or a check made out to Mt. Juliet Band Boosters. If dues are paid in full by August 1, you can take off $250! We also offer a sibling discount. See the Parent Packet for more info.

Meals

The boosters will be serving meals to the students on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday during band camp since those are full band days. Meals are $7 each and can be paid via Givebacks or a check made out to Mt. Juliet Band Boosters. Alternatively, meals can be paid in advance in a lump sum of $250.
