Student fees and ways to support orchestra students

Annual student dues support the academic orchestra program. Donations and sponsorships are optional gifts that help the Booster Club provide extra care, recognition, hospitality, and student support beyond required program needs.

Academic Program Fee

SVHS Orchestra Dues: 2026-2027 Season

Annual student dues are the student program fee for SVHS Orchestra participation. These dues support academic orchestra activities and required program resources. They are separate from optional donations, sponsorships, and fundraising gifts.

Pay Student Dues

Individual payment status, receipts, and family finance details are handled privately by Booster officers.

  • District, UIL, solo, and ensemble participation support
  • Music folders, sheet music, and literature
  • Uniform upkeep and required performance garment support
  • Classroom and rehearsal resources used by orchestra students
  • Required academic program materials and operating costs

Donations provide extra care and support

  • Student hospitality, celebrations, and special events
  • Banquet, awards, scholarships, and senior recognition
  • Student apparel, spirit items, and community-building extras
  • Fundraising support, sponsorships, and gap needs beyond dues

Help shape this year's fundraising plan

Please attend the first Booster parent meeting to help us choose practical fundraising ideas that can replace the old text-message rush style campaign.
