Well, that was an icy betrayal last week, thwarting the Maltby 6th Grade Holiday Concert. Let's hope that the weather cooperates for this week's performances. I hope to see you at them, and first at the Monthly Boosters Meeting inside the BHS Band Room at 7 PM on Monday.

Next week's newsletter will have more details from topics discussed at the meeting. For now, I want to focus on the calendar items coming up and also share the forms for our May 17, 2025 Golf Fundraiser (both for golfers and for sponsors); May seems far off but to make this a successful fundraiser and reach our goal to offset the overall cost of Band Camp, we need to invite others to sponsor and participate in the event!

This Week:

Monday, December 9: 7 PM - Monthly Boosters Meeting in the Band Room.

Tuesday, December 10: 7 PM - Brighton HS Winter Concert in the BCPA. Mr. Swinkey shared Winter Concert.docx - Google Docs.pdf

for the performance via Remind. Poinsettias can be picked up after the concert or the Scranton performance.

Wednesday, December 11: 7 PM - Scranton MS Winter Concert in the BCPA. Poinsettias can be picked up after the concert. Any that remain will be distributed as directed by Cay Pinchen.

Next Week:

Monday, December 16: 4/5:30/7 PM - Basketball Concessions.

Friday, December 20: Final Day of School in 2024; Winter Break begins at 2:21 PM. Students should be certain their instruments are brought home and their cubbies are CLEAN.

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.
