Dear Parents and Students:

The James Pease Memorial Scholarship recognizes the financial burdens placed on families in our district, and
do not want to see financial hardships as a reason to prevent a student from having the positively life-changing
experience of being in the West Clermont Marching Band. A scholarship has been set up in memory of former
Amelia band director James Pease, which has set aside limited money to help cover some of the marching band
fee for members of the marching band and color guard that apply and are accepted.

Families interested in submitting an application for consideration must submit an application digitally below.

All families are highly encouraged to participate in band events and fundraisers to help facilitate the band in
providing the best opportunities for our students.
Sincerely,

Brian Fischer
Director of Bands

The deadline for sending in you applications is August 31, 2022
