​

To the students who made up the Pep Band in Northville: know that your performance helps maintain the excitement among spectators, cheerleaders, and the football team - even through double OT! Thanks also to those families - from Maltby, Scranton, and BHS - who were at the ready to dive into Tag Days to raise Scholarship Funds; we were disappointed to have to cancel, but appreciated the interest.

​

Many thanks to all who were able to attend our Monthly Boosters Meeting last week. Your input and engagement are greatly appreciated! Running Concessions at athletic events is a privilege offered to us by the BAS District; this is our biggest fundraiser each year. It takes many hands to make this possible - and we continue to need help, especially during Freshman/JV and Junior Football games, at which students can volunteer and choose to earn Band Points or $5 credit towards Band Fees (like a trip or 2025 Band Camp). Scranton 8th grade Band Students are *also* eligible to participate - affording a chance to get to know some of the HS students and offset costs! For everyone who has already jumped in to volunteer, thank you for all you do!

If your child is in a BAS band you are automatically a member of the Boosters

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!
