Congratulation on joining the award-winning Creekview Winter Guard Program! We have two teams this season, Varsity & Junior Varsity. The staff is looking forward to a great season!
Winter Guard is an extra-curricular activity and part of the Creekview Band Program. It is not directly funded through the Cherokee County School System. The funds to operate the program are provided through participant fees and fundraising. Prompt payment of fees and participation in all fundraising activities is important to keeping our program competitive.
Participation Fee = $800
Includes: Instructional Costs, Operational Costs, Show Shirt, Water Bottle (new members only) & Uniform Usage
The first payment for all teams is due by November 15th for your student to be written into the show. Once the drill is set, a student is expected to fulfill their duty as a winter guard member and all remaining fees are to be paid in full.
Payment Schedule
A deposit of $200 is due by 11/15 to be written into the show. The remaining 3 payments of $200 will be charged on 30th day of the month in December, January, and February.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS
Winter/Color Guard Program Accessories
These are items worn by all Winter Guard team members and are ordered specifically for your student (exceptions are noted) and billed to your account if they are needed and not added during the registration process.

Any family in need of assistance should contact the Treasurer at creekviewbandtreasurer@gmail.com or Mr. McCarthy at stephen.mccarthy@cherokeek12.net to be sent a link to the Hardship Scholarship Application.
You may now donate directly to the Hardship Scholarship account during registration checkout and on the right-hand side of the home page on the band website. These funds will be used specifically to pay for fees and other items for students who qualify for a hardship scholarship.
