What is a Band Booster? Where can I learn what is going on?
What is a Band Booster? You’re a Band & Auxiliary Booster if you’re the parent or guardian of a student in any Band Class, a Marching Ensemble Member, a Winter Color Guard Member, a Winter Drumline Member, or a Cadet Drumline Member. Yes, just by allowing your student to be part of any one of these groups you’re automatically a Booster. Congratulations! To learn more about what it means to be a Booster please read About Us and the Welcome to the Boosters page. The Board would also love to learn more about you, you can tell us by filling out the Booster Questionnaire. Email the Board with any questions or comments – thsbandboostersor@gmail.com.
