The Ola High School Band Program participates in several fundraising events throughout the school year. Our goal with the fundraisers are twofold:1. To raise and generate profits for the Overall General Band Fund2. To provide our band students and parents an opportunity to raise money for their Band Individual Accounts (BIA) |
Band Individual Account (BIA)What does this mean? |
Band Individual Account, or BIA, is an account that is set-up for every student/family that is in our band program. These accounts are designed to keep track of any money that is fundraised for that individual student/family. A majority of our fundraisers offer a profit split; some of the profits go to the overall general band fund, and the rest of the profits are deposited into the student's/family's BIA.
The money in a student's/family's BIA can be used to pay for band-related items (such as Marching Band Dues, Band Trips, Registration Fees, Concert Tux or Dress, etc.) These BIA accounts are only to be used to pay for band expenses. No actual monies can be withdrawn for personal use (please see our OHS Band Handbook for further explanation).

Below are some of the fundraisers that are in place for the Ola High School Band and explanations of the Profit/BIA split amounts |

"Spin with the Marching Mustangs" is a Marching Band Fall Colorguard fundraiser.
All procedees raised go directly to offsetting the Fall Colorguard expenses. This fundraiser is not a BIA split, as all profit goes to the OHS Fall Colorguard.
