Family Membership Registration and Policies

New Student Signups for band and orchestra at Oak Park District 97 and River Forest District 90 are now available.  If your family has financial barriers to instrumental music participation, PING can help. Your student must be registered in curricular music at school to register with PING, and at least of one of the following must apply:

Qualifying for Free or Reduced Lunch and/or fee waivers in school district.

Single-parent households, or students being raised by someone other than their parents or who are in foster care.

Other financial stressor, such as recent job loss, seriously ill family member, or a disability in the family.
