Parent volunteers are always needed for fundraising projects. Pick your project from the FUNDRAISERS below and get involved.

Volunteer chaperones are needed to ride the buses to and from the football games. All volunteers are admitted free to the games. This is a great way to meet your child's friends and other band parents.

Sign up to volunteer now! | Update your info.

Band Boosters
We are very excited about our fundraising projects for this year and are asking for your help. We have planned some large projects and need a chairperson for each project as well as several volunteers to work on each.

The band program relies on our fundraising efforts, and the success of those efforts depends on student and parent participation.

Please let a board member or Mr. Leverett know if you can help. We need volunteers for a variety of activities, so please get involved with the band.

Let’s have the best year ever in our history.

Next Board Meeting: Mon, Nov 10 at 6:45 in the Band Room.
