The fact that your son or daughter has joined the Toro Band makes you a Toro Band Booster! The goal of the Toro Band Boosters is do everything possible to help Mr. Burgener make our band better. The key word is HELP - the Boosters are not there to run the program, but to support and nurture it so that it is the best it can be. The Toro Band Boosters provide an endless
amount of help throughout the year. Meetings are open to ALL parents and occur once a month in the band room at 7:00 p.m.
The most IMPORTANT thing a Band Booster can do is be there to watch us perform. The Marching Band loves nothing more than seeing a HUGE section of red parent t-shirts up in the stands cheering and screaming for them. Mr. Burgener is challenging the Band Boosters this year to have at least 100 boosters in red shirts at each performance.
We have jobs that last five minutes, five hours, five days, you name it. We appreciate all helpers and volunteers, no matter what your time commitment. Examples of some of the specific things the Toro Band Boosters do are:
During Band Camp, the Boosters provide water and fresh fruit to keep band members hydrated. They also keep a supply of cold wet towels to keep everyone cool.
Throughout the year, we need parents who can sew, fix, construct, maintain, build, cook, fundraise, etc. If you have a special talent, we most likely can use you!
At games and festivals, the parents are involved in many ways, including providing water, helping with uniform check-out and check-in, hair braiding, equipment loading and transport, chaperoning, and numerous other things.
ALL OUTSTANDING BANDS HAVE AN OUTSTANDING PARENTS GROUP SUPPORTING THEM. You will see evidence of this at band festivals when you see parents scurrying around just like you! The band simply cannot survive without the boosters. Donšt think it is all work and no play, however, because many of our band boosters have developed friendships that have continued even past graduation! Similar to the students, the parents bond and become a team.
If you would like more details about involvement or have any questions please contact any of the Band Boosters officers listed below.
