From The Mustang Band Booster Club

Dear Mustang Band Booster Club (MBB) Members,

It’s been a phenomenal year for our music program, and we couldn’t be prouder of our talented students and dedicated teachers. We need your help to finish strong and set ourselves up for even greater success next year.

The Mustang Band Booster Club is seeking fresh faces to join our Board and leadership team. We have open positions for:

  • Secretary
  • WebMaster
  • At-Large Members

These roles are perfect for freshman or sophomore parents (soon to be sophomore and junior parents!) looking to get more involved. They are not overly time-consuming and offer a chance to stay informed and directly contribute to the band’s continued excellence.

There is also an opening for co-Treasurer (aka Treasurer in Training) for next year.

Contact our Current Board President if interested:  Caroline Danda: [email protected]

SUMMER MUSIC OPPORTUNITIES:

Over the summer, there are many PHENOMENAL Music Camps.  We HIGHLY Encourage ALL band students to consider these.  Summer Camps present unique and powerful opportunities to enhance musicianship and build connections with other AMAZING young people, just like our band students.  Personal story from Freeman:  my eye doctor is a close college marching band friend… I introduced him to his wife when we were in band together… his wife was a good friend from, you guessed it, summer music camps!  Musicians are often some of the best people and close friends… camps are great ways to build life-long connections to other great people!!

A small sampling of phenomenal camps:

Since Covid – we have not had many students attend summer camps.  We hope to see this start to change this summer – In addition to the phenomenal experience that students will have at the camps – students who attend these camps come back with enhanced musicianship that ripples across our program, enhancing the quality of experience for everyone.
