Commission approves $250 per Emery student for competitive marching band trip to Washington, D.C.
Summary
County commissioners voted to contribute $250 per Emery student participating in a competitive marching band trip to Washington, D.C.; students and chaperones described a $1,300 per-student trip cost and ongoing fundraisers.
Students and chaperones asked the commission to consider a financial donation to support Emery students attending a November 2025 competitive marching-band trip to Washington, D.C. A student representative outlined the itinerary, fundraising plans and per-student trip cost of about $1,300.
"$1,300 per student," a student speaker said when summarizing the trip expenses. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about other district support; speakers said Carbon County was contributing $400 per Carbon student and that Carbon alone would have 43 students receiving that $400 contribution.
After discussion about local fundraising and district contributions, Commissioner (voice identified on the record) proposed a donation of $250 per Emery student; the motion was seconded and passed on recorded roll call. The board recorded an affirmative vote and the motion carried.
Students said they would be willing to perform at a future commission meeting as a thank-you; commissioners congratulated the students on recent state championships and thanked them for their representation of local schools.
The donation will be applied per participating Emery student; the record does not specify the exact number of Emery students covered by the $250 donation. Carbon County’s separate support and student fundraising were discussed but are independent of Emery County’s commitment.
