BAND BOOSTERS
South Lakes Band Boosters Who we are and what we do . . .
We are a group of volunteers working to help fund and initiate the activities that enhance the band program. The Band Boosters is a non-profit organization and votes for a board each year.
Your Band Boosters Board Claire Cyncynates - President Carol Burns - 1st Vice President / fundraising Maria Robles - 2nd Vice President / hospitality Pat Osbon - Treasurer Melissa Gifford - Recording Secretary Elizabeth Koozmin - Corresponding Secretary
Why do we need Band Boosters? The money earmarked for band programs in Fairfax County only covers the salary of the Band Director and very little beyond that. To be able to compete, travel, buy uniforms, hire professional coaches, buy new instruments, help students pay for travel and activities they might not otherwise afford and parties and social activities, money must be raised. That is where the Band Boosters comes in!
Fundraising Activities Carol Burns, 1st VP Tag Day - Immediate need!! This is the biggest fundraiser of the year. BB & T - Open an account and we get $25! Pick up a coupon today! Citrus Sale White House Ornaments Car Washes Corporate Fundraising
Did you know . . . • Your student will directly benefit from fundraising: An hourly wage or percentage of proceeds will be credited toward the Spring Trip balance.
Uniforms Sarah Birmingham Provided beautiful, new uniforms - $60,000 - NO PUBLIC FUNDING! Maintain Organize help students at marching band activities
Hospitality Maria Robles, 2nd VP Organizes all parties and events requiring food Provides tail gate dinners for all students at home games Provides a full, delicious dinner for all students at 8th Grade Band Night You can help with donations, set-up at events, clean-up at events and planning.
Chaperones We need Chaperones at ALL competitions and trips. Chaperones have the pleasure of seeing the students outside of the school. Students love having their parents come along, despite their pleas to stay home:-)
