PARENT INVOLVEMENT SAM BRANNAN BAND BOOSTERS
Parent help is VITAL to keep the quality of music education
program at such a high level. The Boosters are a non-profit
organization of parent volunteers. Our purpose is to support the
Band program by raising funds, organizing events, and
coordinating volunteers. The money raised by the Band Boosters is
used to buy instruments, music, accessories, and pay for
professional instructors.
Why are donations important?
It is incredibly expensive to run a band program – especially a
great program like Sam Brannan’s Band program. Expenses include:
buying music and accessories, purchasing instruments, repairing
instrument, etc. In the past, parents have willingly donated
time, money, and resources to help maintain this quality program.
Sam Brannan Middle School is the largest and most well respected
Middle School Band in the school district. It is only through
parental assistance this valuable program is possible. While the
district meets the basic needs of the program, the community of
parents and students demand a program that performs well beyond
the average middle school band.
What are the benefits of my being involved in the Sam
Brannan Band Boosters?
The Boosters are committed to giving students a great middle
school experience. Parents benefit by building long-term
friendships, keeping up with their child’s progress, and learning
about band activities. Parents also have an opportunity to
meet with and interact with school administrators and teachers.
