Band Instrument User Fee 25-26

The Band Instrument User fee is a Plano Independent School District fee.

If your student will be using a Plano I.S.D. instrument during the 2025-2026 school year, you will need to pay a Band Instrument User Fee.

Note: If your student will be using two instruments (ex. Mellophone for Marching Band and French Horn for concert band), you only need to pay one fee.

More information about what instruments are provided can be found in Section 8 of the McMillen High School Band Handbook.

If you would like to pay your student's Band Instrument User Fee for the 2025-2026 School Year, you can do so using Plano I.S.D.'s Rycor (Student Quickpay) Portal:
P.I.S.D. Student Quickpay Portal (https://www.studentquickpay.com/PISD/)

If you would like to learn more about Plano I.S.D.'s online payment portal, you can visit the Plano I.S.D. website here: https://www.pisd.edu/rycor

If you have any additional questions, please contact the McMillen High School Directors
