Band Boosters
All Band Booster meetings will start at 6pm and have an ending goal of
7:30pm. All parents of Band students are considered Band Boosters and are
highly encouraged to attend the meetings and get involved in your son's
education.
The Band Booster organization assists the Band Directors with raising funds
through participation in our annual Holiday Concert & Boutique,
participating in setup/ticket collections, handing out programs at our
concerts, helping to serve at our annual awards banquet and being available
for other necessary duties to help the Bands be successful in performance.
This includes all levels of students from beginning to intermediate to
advanced, our drumline, colorguard, and jazz. It is only with parent help
that we are able to focus on our performances without having to worry about
the other details. Involvement in the Band Boosters is also a way for you to
socialize with other parents and to get the required parent hours that each
parent needs to volunteer each year. Each of the meetings below will give
you one hour of volunteer time.
This year, we have been blessed with a group of very enthusiastic and
fun-loving band booster parents who have been working hard all during the
fall season to coordinate special events and help at competitions, concerts,
and pre-concert set up. Above are some of our hardworking parents. Without
them, we could not have lasted through the fall season.
The band boosters discuss upcoming events and ideas at monthly band booster
meetings and work hand-in-hand with Mr. Souza. A special thanks is in order
for our BAND BOOSTER MAESTRO AND FEARLESS LEADER MR. MICHAEL DAY!!! and all
the other band boosters who have supported our program and cared for all the
band members this fall 2009 season!
Our band boosters this fall from October to November have been traveling
with the band all over from city parades to Santa Cruz, Pleasanton, and
Fairfield for band competitions! They have been the cornerstone of our
success along with our staff! Without this dedicated group of fun-loving
band boosters, our band would not have made it this far this season! Thank
you all so much!
The band boosters coordinate many events such as the annual Christmas
boutique and the Band Awards Banquet. During Christmas, the band boosters
also work on making bows for the Christmas wreath and holiday baskets and
working on See's Candy sales. Without band boosters, there surely would be
no band. Any band booster can tell you that it is a great experience
traveling with the boys and being an active part of their son's time in
band.
We hope that you will find the time you spend with the Band Booster
organization enjoyable and have you wanting to spend time with our Band, an
awesome group of young men who work hard to represent our school and our
city to everyone else! Please come and be an active participant and see what
it is to be a proud member of the ARCHBISHOP RIORDAN BAND BOOSTERS.
Be an active part of your son's time in band! Be a band
booster!!!
