Booster
Club
Do you love concert band
music? Are you interested in rallying around our cause? Do
you have creative energies and leadership skills just
waiting to be utilized?
Even though there is not
currently an organized booster club per se, you can
still be involved in our organization. Some of the areas
where you might want to help out are in grant writing,
promotions, publicity, reporting, graphic arts, instrument
storage, transportation, setup / takedown, etc.
Also, why not consider being
the spark for developing a booster club for our band!
You can use your enthusiasm in pulling together a group of
fans. As the person in charge, you will be able to work with
the Band's Board in coming up with ideas related to a
booster club. Using your imagination, you could develop
things such as a fan newsletter, sponsorship benefits,
special concert series, etc. If all this sounds like
something you'd like to spearhead, please contact
us !
