Season Payments, Etc

Dear Marching Band Families,

We are excited to announce that we can now securely process payments online through CutTime using Stripe!  

You will need to log-in to CutTime to make the Payment. Also please be aware, there is a 4% convenience fee from Stripe that will be charged (Please note: we have not accounted for this fee in your pricing for the season..so if you feel inclined to help us out and cover this fee we would appreciate it)

For those who have already made payments you can use this next time, and hopefully for those who have been waiting for this function it will make things easier!

Thanks, and have a great day!
