PARENT SUPPORT and RESPONSIBILITIES

Being involved with the band booster organization is the best way to support your child’s efforts. The band booster’s purpose is to boost the overall band program through fundraising and other means of support so that our students can have the best experience possible in this activity. Please see a member of the executive board of the booster organization for more information about meetings and membership.

  Band Booster Organization

The Kingsway Marching Band Boosters (KMUBI) is a booster organization that has helped the Dragon Marching Band attain their high level of success over the years.  The KMUBI performs many services such as fundraising, uniform alterations, transporting equipment for performances, and chaperoning trips just to name a few.  KMUBI helps to raise funds to hire additional staff members as well as providing additional needs not covered by the school district’s budget.  And, of course, KMUBI provides moral support for the members of the group by showing school spirit whenever we travel for competition.

 

There are many ways to become involved in the band boosters and to help support the hard work that your student puts forth for the program.  There are a number of committees to be a part of and we are always looking for volunteers to help.  Being a part of the band boosters does not need to be a full-time commitment.  You can help as much or as little as your schedule allows.  Your donated time will always be appreciated by the students and parents.  To become involved, please contact one of the officers listed below to see how you can help.
