In a few scant months, VP Cindy Mullin, Secretary Melissa Rife and I will leave our Executive Board positions as we prepare to celebrate the last Band Awards Night with our Seniors and enjoy their final weeks at BHS. We have an excellent candidate to assume the Secretary role, and are seeking someone (VP) to keep the District and our community apprised of fundraising activities, more people to complete the Concessions Team, and a person capable of writing newsletters, presiding over meetings, and being the liaison between the Director of Bands and our community!
This Week:
Tuesday, February 24: 2:30-3:30 PM - NYC Participants’ Rehearsal in the Band Room
Next Week:
Monday, March 2: Butter Braids Fundraiser launches (orders due 3/16; product delivery 3/24)! Students will be offered the opportunity to bring home order forms. 7 PM - Monthly Boosters Meeting featuring BAS Superintendent Matt Outlaw to share more details about the Bond Measure for the May Election!
Tuesday, March 3 (10, 17 & 24): 2:30-3:30 PM - NYC Particpants’ Rehearsal in the Band Room.
Stay safe in the return of the slick roads!

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.
