Parent Involvement Music Boosters If you have a student in any of the Band classes, the Orchestra classes, the Marching Band, Auxiliary (Color Guard), Winter Percussion or Winter Guard groups; then you are automatically a member of the FHS Band Boosters. There are no dues or fees, just your desire to continue the tradition of supporting Mr. Kelly and his Staff in what they do for the programs. The primary purpose of the Band Boosters is to provide financial and volunteer support to the Bands, Orchestras and their Auxiliary units. The Marching Band Season (fall) is the busiest for Boosters. There are many ways to get involved. The Marching Band will have competitions in the fall and during a Field Show (the competition) the Band needs helpers all day (Saturdays) – that can mean from 7:00 am until 12:00 midnight. There are little jobs, some can be done at home, and of course you can spend the whole day with the Band if you want. During the year the Boosters ask for help with carpools, sewing, food shopping, and event coordinators. The Boosters have a silent auction at the December concerts and they host two winter season competitions in the early spring. The Boosters help at every home football game. The Boosters have a few fundraisers for the students to find creative ways to make financial contributions to the program. We celebrate all our successes at the end of the year with the Annual Awards night, also known as the Band Prom. There are 4-6 Booster meetings during the school year. There is a Booster Board that meets monthly with Mr. Kelly. There is a Booster Secretary that assists with communication needs.
