As directors, we want the best music program possible for our students. Part of the success of our program has been parent involvement in our Booster Board. The Booster Board supports the band’s success by raising and providing funding for the marching band and supplementing county funding for in-class band needs. Boosters also organize volunteers for band activities allowing us to focus on your students.

We are in danger of not having enough volunteers on our Booster Board for the board to continue to function next year. Please don’t let that happen as we rely on our board! We truly need your help. Here are the positions we need to fill:

• Treasurer: Our current treasurer will not be able to continue for the next school year but will be available for questions/guidance for the new treasurer. The treasurer handles the financial transactions, pays invoices and instructors, provides monthly financial reports, ensures Boosters are compliant with tax filings and 1099s for instructor pay, etc.
• Vice President: Our current president is willing to serve a 3rd term next year but needs someone who can take over the following year as she will have a graduating senior in 2026. The VP runs meetings in President’s absence, helps with by-law modifications, intent to learn the ropes and take over presidency the following year.
• Pit Crew: (Chair and Co-Chair Needed) Help organize equipment transport for band functions.
• Fundraising: (Chair and Co-Chair Needed) Help plan, get approval for, and run fundraising activities for the band.
• Uniforms: (Co-Chair Needed) Help the chairperson with assigning uniforms, fitting uniforms, order uniform accessories and show shirts, organize uniform racks and arrange for transport to and from marching band functions, arrange dry cleaning, etc.
• Concessions: (Co-Chair Needed) Work with existing chair to organize, maintain and purchase stock, staff concessions workers, and sell concessions at our concession stand events.

Please help us by serving on the Booster Board for next year. Contact our board smhspantherpride@gmail.com with your information if you can help serve in any of these positions.
