If your child is a Band member, your payments will be payable to “NPMA” or you can use the Paypal button on the northpennmusic.com website after adding a 3% fee. Questions about payments can be directed to Jenny Platt by emailing npma.studentfinancials@gmail.
We were hoping to use the NPMA “Disney” fundraisers to bring down those children’s fees however with the airfare prices, we had to use those proceeds to keep the fee at a maximum of $1500.00. Transportation fees, chaperone, crew fees etc. will be paid by these fundraisers and will not be embedded in the children’s fees.
Fundraising
We have a lot of great fundraisers going on to help you fund your students fees and Disney trip. There is something for everyone!
