Tuition & Payment Options

Tuition for the 2025-2026 Season is as follows:

$450   Strings
$375   Woodwinds and French Horns
$300   Brass and Timpani

Sibling Discount: The first child in a family pays full tuition. The second child and successive children receive a $100 discount each.

Prompt payment of your tuition ensures the successful continuation of our orchestra. Tuition payments are used to pay our conductor and two directors. All other positions on the board are filled by volunteers. Tuition also covers music rental, hall rental, copying expenses, practice personnel and more. We require that all accepted members make a payment by the first rehearsal, September 8.  This can be in full for the whole year, at least $50 for a payment plan (please email treasurer@wvys.org with your payment plan choice), or a completed request to treasurer@wvys.org requesting financial assistance.

There are several ways to pay for tuition which are detailed below. They include:

• Pay your full tuition with cash, a check, or by using PayPal.
• Pay installments using the Payment Plan.
• No one is turned away for lack of funds. If you need financial assistance, please contact the treasurer.
• Use a combination of the above to pay your full tuition.
• Obtain a new corporate sponsorship – the amount of the sponsorship will be applied to your tuition.
