Class Fees & Other Expenses
Class Fees
Class fees help to cover the many operating expenses required for running a high-caliber choir program. Such expenses include purchasing of new music and arrangements, student shirts, accompanist fees, sound technician expenses, bus transportation costs to events, and classroom equipment. The EMS Choir Boosters operations budget is available for review. Please contact our treasurer if you have questions or would like to see the budget.
