Fairfax County Public Schools pays very little for the Oakton Band Program, though many people believe that they fund the majority of it. Unfortunately this is not the case. Fairfax County provides funds for the music education piece, but not for the bands, uniforms, competitions, transportation, equipment or maintenance. The Band Boosters of Oakton High School was created to raise the nearly $100,000 it takes to offer a full music program at Oakton. |
