The fee is due within five (5) calendar days of the final performance or event. A report of the sale of tickets and a check in the amount due is to be made out to the Andover Public Schools and forwarded to the Andover Public Schools Business Office, 36R Bartlet Street, Andover, MA 01810.
Rental and maintenance fees may be waived by the Superintendent of Schools or his/her designee for Andover nonprofit groups and organizations of a purely civic nature or those providing recreational or educational activities for citizens of Andover provided such activities are available equally to all Andover Citizens. However, all other charges (custodial, etc.) shall not be waived. Further, if an admissions fee is required by the group or organization, rental and maintenance fees shall not be waived. Determinations regarding the waiver of fees will be made on a case by case basis.
Parking: Collins Center parking lots are part of the Andover High School campus. Often, several extracurricular events run concurrently at the High School and parking lots fill up quickly. There is additional parking at West Middle School. Parking regulations will be strictly enforced at all times, regardless of time of day, day of week, or time of year.
Pianos: Any piano in the Collins Center (including those in the band and chorus rooms) may be rented for a fee of $100.00/day. No piano is to be used or tuned without prior permission from the Collins Center Manager.
