Band Fees

This year the annual band fee will be $55 to help cover the rising cost of instrument repairs and maintenance. The band fee is also used to help cover the cost of band supplies (reeds, sticks and mallets, valve oil, slide cream, cleaning cloths, tuning rods, cork grease, etc.), as well as festival registration fees, clinician fees, and band uniforms. The PSB provides band instruments for students to use for free (no monthly rental fee) through the school budget.  The PSB also supplies textbooks, binders, pencils, and sheet music for the band program. A fundraising campaign will be held later in the year to support educational field trips.

Band fees can be paid online (SchoolCash). You may also pay cash or send in a cheque. Please enclose payments in an envelope labeled “Band Fee” and also provide  the student’s name and class.  If envelopes are as hard to find at your house as they are at mine, you may choose to place the payment in a Ziplock bag with a note inside stating the same information.

It would be appreciated if the band fee could be paid by Monday, October 6th.

Thank you for your support!

Mt. A . Honour Band – Saturday, October 25, 2025

Brass, woodwind, and percussion students are invited to spend a day at Mount Allison University, rehearsing and working with Music Department faculty. Again this year there will be two levels and two bands— Junior Band, conducted by Dr. Kiera Galway, and Senior Band, conducted by Prof. James Kalyn. Based on the experiences of East Wiltshire band students over the past few years, I would suggest that this program is most suitable for grade 9 students or advanced grade 8 students.

The Mt. A Honour Band program includes:

  • Rehearsals and concert with the Honour Band
  • Clinic on your instrument with Mount A faculty
  • Lunch on campus

Cost: $40

Students must arrange their own transportation to Sackville, NB: https://maps.app.goo.gl/VgTiKuLkfw8YMQjD9

Interested students are asked to please pick up an application form in the band room.
