Stay informed on upcoming events, and support your music student. We encourage everyone to be involved and informed. Our booster organization is a VITAL component to the music program. No matter what your talents or how pressed for time you are, there is probably something you can do to help. Naturally, the more boosters that volunteer, the more we can help the students, and the less burden any single booster will have to bear.
