"Students of music learn craftsmanship as they study how details are put together painstakingly and what constitutes good, as opposed to mediocre, work. These standards, when applied to a student's own work, demand a new level of excellence and require students to stretch their inner resources."

One of these is roots; the other is wings."

Booster Responsibilities
Financial support is a cornerstone to the function of a band/orchestra program. It provides both challenges as well as considerable opportunities for band members and their families. These funds pay for equipment truck rental for off-campus events, maintenance of the concession stand, the purchase of band supplies, uniforms and instruments, maintenance of school-owned instruments and many other expenses. The costs of buying new sheet music, drill for marching shows, uniform cleaning, transportation costs, new marching instruments can appear very daunting! Therefore, the Band Parent Association must generate the additional funds that are an absolute necessity in order to have a meaningful and successful program.
If you have a son or daughter in the Western HS Band, Orchestra or Color Guard, you’re automatically a member of the WHS Band Boosters. You don’t have to sign up or pay dues. You don’t have to do anything, although there are many opportunities to get involved -- as much or as little as you like.
We need and welcome your help!
All parents/guardians of students who are enrolled in a Instrumental Music Dept. classes are voting members of the Band Parent Association. An important and beneficial part of the total band experience is the opportunity to work together and earn the funds needed to support the band program. From this the student learns the necessity of making the money to support his/her activities, budget for the required payments, as well as to work together with other band members and parents. The team-building that goes on during these work experiences supports the close working group that makes up the WHS Instrumental Music Dept..
This great organization requires a large team effort.
Each parent and student has the responsibility to join in; whether you are a new Freshman or a seasoned Senior, full year or half year student or new 8th grader! This work not only builds and nurtures the Bands and Color Guard but also provides terrific opportunities for friendship and camaraderie for parents as well.
We have fun and there are many opportunities waiting for you to pull together to help our kids achieve their potential. Fundraising is necessary for the operation of our Instrumental Music program. If you want to roll up your sleeves and get involved, there is something for everyone to do.
Many hands make light work!
Ask how you can help!
Whether you have a lot of time or just a little, we can use your help.
