​Funds will be divided into Student Volunteer Accounts (75%) and the Music Department General Travel fund (25%).
The 75% will be divided evenly amongst those who worked the Bottle Drive including adult volunteers. We cannot run a bottle drive without adult helpers!


Example: Total profits are $1000 --> $750 for student accounts, $250 for Music Department
There are 23 volunteer slots. $750 split 23 ways = $32.60
You can sign up for MAX 2 slots. Your adult can also sign up for 2 slots. You then receive 4 portions of the $750. $32.60x4= $130.40
