Attention Parents of Choral Music Students - We would to invite anyone who has a child in the choral music program to become a member of the Choral Boosters. We would love to see you at the meetings. The more people that participate in the Choral Boosters the more things can get done!

We are inviting you to encourage your child to continue with their music talents as they move into high school life.  We believe that band participation in the 9^th grade helps make the transition into high school easier and far less intimidating.  In addition, it has been proven over and over that musicians make the best scholars.  We would like the opportunity to tell you why.

Student Opportunities

Ø      Marching Band and Color Guard – Practice for Marching Band begins in the summer and provides a rewarding, competitive and FUN experience for musicians.  The Color Guard provides students who do not play marching band instruments such as string players and dancers an opportunity to participate in the marching program and enjoy all its rewarding aspects.  Marching Band is all about leadership, team work, physical and musical improvement.  Also, by forcing time management, marching band can increase grade point averages.

Ø      Indoor Drum Line and Color Guard – Extends the competitive experience of marching band into the winter and spring.  Many instrumentalists take up percussion as a 2nd instrument or join Color Guard just to stay involved.
