Mission statements
- To provide inspiration, guidance, and assistance to all band students and staff in order to develop and sustain top performing instrumental music programs at all levels.
- To secure closer contact between interested parents, students, teachers, directors, and staff, thereby assuring clear communication and cooperation among all those involved in the band program.

- to help students reach their greatest musical potential
Whats in it for my band student and me?
Your support directly supports your local band. The Booster Club funds help provide for band equipment, awards, entry fees, and water and refreshments for the students, transportation to competitions, and clinicians to broaden your child's band experience. Now is the time for all parents to get involved: to improve our children's music programs today, and plan for the music programs of tomorrow.
Why include multiple schools?
We achieve efficiencies in band bookkeeping and banking by combining the middle school and high school booster clubs. Families with students in both middle school and high school need join only one booster club. Fundraising can be coordinated centrally so that individual schools do not directly compete for funds.
Organization within the organization.
All sections have a coordinator (section parent) to organize section events and be available to the kids and parents of their section.
