Annual or quarterly dues
Choose whichever billing schedule works best for your family: annual or quarterly. Paying annually saves you the most. All members in 2nd grade or older participate in both Music and Dance lessons.
As children move up to the next group or begin playing an instrument, dues are prorated based on when the change occurs.
Questions from parents
Your first month is completely free, giving your child the opportunity to experience the group with no commitment. To get started, contact us and we'll walk you through the process.
Beginners & Intermediates: Perform at least twice annually — at the CFU Festival and our Annual Concert. Additional performances depend on invitations throughout the year.
Seniors: Perform more frequently, often invited to various community and cultural events throughout the year.
Yes! We travel for the Annual CFU Festival, which is held in various US cities or in Croatia. Other out-of-state events are usually reserved for Seniors, but occasionally Beginners and Intermediates may be invited as well.
Yes! To keep costs low, we rely on fundraisers. Here's how families can get involved:
- Raffles & Ticket Sales: Families are required to sell a set number of tickets for each event.
- Annual Concert: Each family must contribute through admission tickets, advertisement program book donations, or both.
- Events & Fundraisers: We hold various events throughout the year and rely on parent-volunteers to assist.
