  • Membership Dues

    Member dues are an important part of the band's funding. CPB’s calendar runs from August 1st – July 31st. Annual dues must be paid in order to perform in Columbus Pride Band ensembles.

    Annual Membership Dues are $20 per season for returning members and can be paid when you register for the ensemble.

    All new member dues are waived your first season.

    Payment of dues enables the member to participate in any ensemble or Columbus Pride Bands events throughout that calendar year. As always, financial constraints should not preclude anyone from participating. If you are unable to pay dues, please contact the vice president or treasurer to make appropriate arrangements.
