Band Boosters Board and Committees

Band Booster officers are rotating off the board (or 'graduating') at the end of school year. A list of all board and committee positions is posted on the Band Booster page. Many committee positions will need to be filled, also. Please be thinking about how you can help the Band Boosters in the coming year/s.

Fund Raising

$100 investment = $100 groceries/gas  + $5.00 income

If you grocery shop at either Ingles or Food City you can raise money for the band at no cost to yourself.

Ingles and Food City sell gift cards to us at a 5% discount. That 5% is shared equally between the band general fund and the student account. In other words, buy a card for $100, use it to purchase $100 groceries and/or gasoline PLUS receive $2.50 in your student's account and $2.50 to the band account.

By using these cards for most of my groceries and gasoline, I was able to pay for band camp for two students each year and still have money in their accounts for clinics. ~Nancy LaPrise

Message From Mr. Thomas

Mr. Thomas wants parents to know that he is not in the band room after school on home game days. Mr. Thomas arrives approximately 30 minutes before the students are required to be in their seats.

This means that if students stay at the school on home game days, they are not supervised.
