Updates from the Booster President and Student Leaders
Updates from Ann Wilson (President)
Thank you to everyone who came out and supported us for the Independence Day Event at the park. We had a ton of volunteers and lots of new faces; we're excited to have all of you. For those of you I didn't get to work with, I look forward to seeing you and getting to know you better soon. And I look forward to seeing new and returning Marching Band Members next month at band camp.
We have our July Band Booster Meeting on Tuesday July 23rd at 7pm virtually; we would love to see you there! One of the topics at the meeting will be our committee sign-ups, please watch for a Sign-Up Genius coming soon to get involved.
I hope everyone has a terrific remainder of the summer! Ann

Marching Band 2024-2025
Marching Band Announcements
- You will be receiving a $250 invoice for marching band fees in the coming weeks. This is due to the expenses that we have upcoming: Marching Music ($400), T-shirts ($3000), Marching Shoes ($1000), and more. These are all REQUIRED expenses for next year! If you can remit payment now, that is great, if you would like to spread out payments, that is okay too. We just ask for some kind of downpayment to help offset the pre marching band costs. Yes, fees are $50 higher than the past few years. We have tried to keep our fees as low as possible, but, due to inflation and rising costs, we have to raise our fees by $50.
