Kudos to all our BHS Bands students who participated in the MSBOA District 4 Solo & Ensemble Festival this past weekend! I have seen posts that several have qualified for States, and love seeing their dedication and passion pay off in that achievement.
Thanks to the parents and students who signed up and showed up for Basketball Concessions last week! We have a few dates left in the Boys’ Basketball regular season plus a junior Wrestling Meet and still have some gaps in the schedule. If you have it in you to stand in the gap and help out, that would be awesome!

Thanks to Andrew Pinchen for “hosting” our SuperBowl Squares FUNdraiser; he will be posting results by the end of day on Monday for winners to be paid out. Having lived in the 12th Man territory for several years, our household is happy to have seen the Seahawks win the national title again!
For funsies, what University first introduced the idea of the 12th Man fan base? Reply to me via president@brightonbandboosters.org if you know!

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.

Go Dogs!
