Music Boosters need parents to fill positions this Fall 2008
We need your help. We have several positions that need to be filled by parents of band students this upcoming fall school year 2008 through 2009. The Music Boosters is an all volunteer organization comprised of parents, faculty, and friends whose purpose is to support the instrumental music programs at the high school. We meet on the first Tuesday of each month throughout the school year to discuss and organize activities that support the Marching Band, Symphonic, Concert, Jazz Bands, and Orchestra. We help at every music event that the school sponsors or is involved. Please join us and help out at a few events.
