20 PNC Dues Reduction Program

21 What is the Dues Reduction Program? It s a great way to earn money for your student account to help pay for most band costs throughout the year. It is like a band savings account, where tax-free pay is deposited directly into your student account and used for future band expenses. Work as a cashier in the concession area at the most popular indoor sports and event arena in Raleigh---The PNC Arena! Choose the shifts that fit your schedule while making friends with other band parents. Work from 5 to 20 or more shifts, it s up to you!

22 How much can I earn? Contracts: $150 for 5 events $350 for 10 events $30-40/shift after that You may also be eligible to defer the last marching fair share payment until January 31. The money already earned in your account can help cover fair share costs for GHR, winter programs (Winter Guard and Indoor Percussion), extra uniform accessories, spirit wear for students and family, music fees for classroom, All-District and Tri-M fees, banquet tickets and more!
