June 8, 2025 - Band Camp Chaperone Sign-Up (due latest June 15, 2025)
​
Thanks to everyone who attended the Band Information Meeting last Monday. It was incredible to see so many interested families in attendance. There are a few housekeeping items related to this I need to convey.
Our lead Band Camp Nurse has indicated that there are up to 35 families who had not yet submitted Health Forms. Please get these in by Tuesday so that we don't need to track them down over the summer! These forms help us keep your students safe at Camp (if you need to print the forms again, check out the Band Camp section of this website!)
Next, for all parents (new or returning) interested in being a Band Camp Chaperone or Nurse, please respond to this form by June 15. Cabin Lists are forthcoming! For all those who expressed an interest in stepping into some volunteer roles other than Band Camp, I would appreciate it if you reach out to me so we can discuss further. (If you have already emailed/replied to a Newsletter, no need to email again.)

June 5, 2025 - Band Camp Payments
Band Camp Payments can be made by check written to "Brighton Band Boosters" and sent in with your student to give to their Band Director or via the Zeffy link below (remember to put fee request to 0):
https://www.zeffy.com/donation-form/band-camp--2025
Families are asked to pay $450 per student for Band Camp this year. Parents attending as a chaperone are asked to pay $100 for food (and will also be credited with 10 shifts of volunteering).
Payments can be split into two payments of $225 each. The second payment is due July 15.
The Zeffy link offers four payment options:
$225 (half payment)
$450 (full payment)
$100 (chaperone food payment)
$550 (full payment for student + chaperone food)
If you have volunteered for Band Boosters during the 2024-2025 school year and believe you have qualified for the Tiered Incentive Boost, please contact Karen Gwidt with your student name(s) and a list of your volunteer hours at TreasurerBrightonBandBoosters@gmail.com so that we can verify the adjusted total amount due (which you can also change via the Zeffy link above).
Boosters have been in contact with some potential donors who may want to provide partial or full scholarships. If you are interested in more information about this, please email bandcamp@brightonbandboosters.org to receive a heads-up as we finalize these generous gifts.

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!
