WHO ARE THE BAND BOOSTERS?
The Hackettstown High School Band Boosters Association, Inc., is a non-profit, parent organization, which supports the efforts of the instrumental music students in the high school performing arts department. While support is provided to each band within the program, the marching band receives the primary parent involvement. This is because each performance and each performance season requires a great deal of adult assistance, much more than the other bands, from transportation of the heavy instruments to and from football games and competitions to providing the hospitality table for visiting bands at HHS home games.
WHO CAN JOIN BAND BOOSTERS?
If your child is a participant of any band within the HHS instrumental music department (Stage, Jazz, Marching, Pep Bands or Winter Guard/Percussion), then CONGRATULATIONS. You are already a member of band boosters!
WHEN DO THE BAND BOOSTERS MEET?
The HHS Band Boosters Association meets on the second Tuesday of each month throughout the school year, September through June, at 7:00 pm in the high school band room and as needed during the summer in preparation for the fall marching band season.
ABOUT BAND BOOSTERS
Whether a home game halftime show, an away pre-game show, a
competition or parade, or a winter or spring concert, every show our bands, our
children, perform, is an important one. Attending
football games, both home and away, attending competitions, and attending their
concerts where we can cheer them on is very important!
Depending on
the band, you will see their show numerous times throughout the year.
It is truly amazing to watch as they perfect it, and they deserve our
support throughout the season.
Of course
not everyone can be at every performance, but you are encouraged to make every
effort to attend whenever possible.
All parents are invited and encouraged to actively participate in our band parents association. Our goal is to have every student’s family involved with their music experience, this way you can learn with them. There are opportunities to work as chaperones, equipment helpers, fundraising, seamstresses, and anything you feel could benefit the organization. You are encouraged to speak with Susan Santamaria, the band booster president, about boosters.
