We need your help throughout the coming year. The WGH Band Boosters is made up of volunteers who not only raise their families but also hold full-time jobs. We know how difficult it is to volunteer the little free time that we have. We have chosen to make our children and our Band Program, priorities in our busy lives, as we understand the lifelong value that music educations brings. Please come out and join us—we will give you an opportunity to make a difference! Some of the activities that we support through fundraising: *Scholarships *Equipment *Trips *Music *Contest fees *Feeding the Band (Band is fed at all away games, visiting Bands are respectfully fed at home games) *Special instruction Please won’t you support your student by becoming a Band Booster member. Not only are wonderful adult friendships formed, it is also so rewarding to interact with these wonderfully talented students. Join us and see how enjoyable it can be to do your part! Next Meeting!
