Band & Guard Fees (Reduced):

Marching Band fees and Winter Guard fees have been both reduced to $100.00 and can be paid:
  • Pay by Check or Cash:

Please include your payment with your Band Registration forms package.  
Make check(s) payable to:    St Petersburg High School Band Boosters
(make sure to include your Student's name on the check)

  • Pay Band Fees With  Credit Card

Band fee payments can be made online using PayPal.  You don’t need a PayPal Account to pay with a credit or debit card.  During the payment process, you will have a chance to enter your credit or debit card information.

Paypal charges a merchant fee for each online payment. 

Paypal forbids adding a surcharge for its use so if you would be willing to add an additional amount to your fee payment to cover the Paypal cost, that would be appreciated.  

​You can voluntarily offset the Paypal merchant fee:
  • Fee $100 + Paypal charge of $2.44  =  $102.44 payment
