VMHS Golden Alliance

Boosters

The Band Booster club is an excellent way for parents to get involved in the Golden Alliance. The purpose of the Band Boosters organization is to promote and support the music students and performing groups of the Golden Alliance. They promote and encourage musical excellence in the program, teamwork and cooperation in all activities, and an environment of mutual respect and dignity.

The Band Boosters serve the Golden Alliance publically, physically, and financially.

1. Publically: They communicate the exceptional quality of the program to the community at large.
2. Physically: They serve as volunteers whenever and wherever needed. They organize meals at SPA, drive equipment trucks to competitions, manage uniforms, cut tickets for concerts, and hundreds of other jobs that just have to be done.
3. Financially: They ensure the success of the Golden Alliance by keeping the program financially stable. They plan and organize fundraisers and sponsorships, manage student accounts, and manage the budget.

Because the Band Boosters are such an integral part of a successful program, adequate parental involvement is key. You don't need to have a background in music to participate, you don't need to be a stay-at-home mom, and you don't even need to be a mom! (Dads are strongly encouraged to join and help!!!) No matter what your expertise is, it will be of use to use, and it will be greatly appreciated.

Anyone with backgrounds in accounting, communications, construction, counseling, designing, driving, electrical, engineering, events planning, inventory, legal counsel, management, mechanics, programming, repair, retail, sales, scheduling, secretarial, sewing, warehousing, writing, web design, and MORE will be useful to the smooth operation of the program.

Band parents provide the tools of every trade so our students can enjoy an endless source of practical knowledge and wisdom unselfishly shared with our musical community. Without fail, EVERYONE has something to give. However, your most important contribution will always be your presence.

Simply being involved sends a powerful message to your son or daughter. You become a role model of conviction. There is no substitute for this precious and priceless gift.

Have Fun! Volunteer! Socialize! Support the Students!
