The minutes of daylight are growing shorter, the air is just that bit crisper, and the crush of holiday preparations are upon us. These are sure signs that the BHS Marching Band Tour of the Brighton Area Schools is upon us, and Winter Concerts are not far behind! This year we are officially joining with the Choir and Orchestra Boosters organizations to decorate the stage of the BCPA, help families decorate their homes or purchase gifts, and offer another individual-benefit fundraiser with Meier Flowerland products (including the Flower-of-the-Month Club). Orders are due on December 2, and families will need to pick up all ordered items after the BHS Bands Concert on December 10. See the attached image for pricing and details to share with others!

I am thankful for the role that the Brighton Bands program has played in my family, and I hold gratitude daily for all the ways in which Boosters show up to let these band students know that their passion is supported and they are respected and loved. May your Thanksgiving be filled with moments of awe, connection, and kindness.

Welcome!
​
The Brighton Band Boosters is a non-profit organization of parents and care-givers dedicated to working in partnership with our Band Directors to create a one-of-a-kind experience for our band students. We support all aspects of the band including the marching band, drumline, and color guard, as well as the multiple concert bands at all three schools.
​
The Boosters are run by a board of volunteers elected by our members each year. We provide all band parents and guardians the opportunity to actively support our amazing band programs by helping with things such as chaperoning events and student socials, helping to move band equipment and distributing uniforms, assisting with concert publicity, fundraising, and more. Our goal is to keep things running smoothly so the band directors can focus on the students and the music. Our fundraising efforts, most notably the sale of concessions during BAS sporting events, provide valuable financial support to the bands.
​
The Boosters meet once a month. Meetings are open to parents and care-givers from BHS, Scranton and Maltby and include information concerning the future of the band programs, upcoming events, and areas of concern or need. Throughout the year you will receive email newsletters from the Boosters with event updates and volunteer opportunities. To learn more about how you can contribute to the on-going success of our band programs please contact the Booster President JuliAnne Diesch or attend one of our upcoming meetings.
