A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. ~Leopold Stokowski
Our ROLE: First, remember that the band boosters support both the middle school and the high school programs. The Farmville Band Boosters is a service organization. As individuals, and as a whole, our role is to provide support, assistance and resources for the band Programs. Accountability and responsibility for the music programs rest solely on the band directors. They are responsible for all students and activities while under school jurisdiction, and thus, they are the decision makers and disciplinarians. The Band Boosters support these music programs, our role is to act on the director’s decisions and uphold the standard they set as well as those of our school system. The band program relies on the boosters tremendously. Virtually all of the funds needed are raised by the boosters.
Through our willingness to do what it takes to provide all the necessary resources, these programs have the opportunity to put on the best show and give the best performance they can. However, our activities and diligence provide much more than just financial and physical support for a band program. We have the opportunity to help develop and influence many young adults. We can be mentors and role models for the next generation. Our cheering section isn’t bound to the grand stand! As a booster, you can make a difference!
Our GOAL: Since we do have the Best Marching Band around (!!!!!!!) we must have the Best Booster Program around!!!!!!! With the help and support of all of the parents, we can pull off any need that arises and be the most awesome cheering section ever seen!!!!!!!
All parents and supporters are welcome at the Booster meetings. But if you wish to have the ability to vote on certain issues, you must pay $5.00 per year (July 1 – July 1) to be a voting member. You may choose to become a voting member any time throughout the year, but you must have paid your dues prior to the beginning of the meeting when a vote is being held. You can still be just as active and involved as you want as a non-voting member as any voting member. Your ideas, creativity, questions, advice and elbow grease are welcome anytime!
