Booster
Membership
Parents are an important part of the MCHS Band,
and have a vital role to play.
Without the assistance and cooperation of band parents,
there would be no chance for the level of success
we want the band to reach.
There are many things parents can do.
As a band parent, you are automatically a member
of the Band Boosters.
There is no charge for membership; however your
participation is essential.
The monthly Band Parent Meetings are held on the
second Tuesday of the Month at 7:00 p.m.
At these meetings, upcoming activities are discussed
and the Band Director provides an update of the
program.
All band parents and supporters
are invited to attend.
Your involvement with any of the committees or events
is not required but is welcome and encouraged.
Being a part of the band experience is a great way
for you and your band student.
Please feel free to talk with any Band Booster
committee chairperson or officer to learn how you
too can volunteer.
The high school years can be great, but also a little
scary for both parents and students!
Find a way to get involved and stay connected,
band boosters is a great way to have involvement
while supporting the efforts of the band.
Your time helps the band in its success.
The school year starts out with a “bang”
for our band students
with marching season’s football games and competitions.
The Band Boosters and band parents provide the necessary
‘behind the scenes’
work, talent and support that keeps the organization
going and running smoothly.
