FAQ

Who is a Band Booster?

A Band booster is a parent or guardian of students enrolled in the band program (6th-12th grade) at Monroe Local Schools. When your student joins the band, you become a booster.

What do Boosters do?

Boosters support the band program at Monroe Local Schools and assist its directors in the tactical implementation (events, contests, programs, etc) and long-term strategies of the program through volunteerism, fundraising, communications, and advocacy. We promote cooperation between the bands, schools, and community.

What is a Booster Meeting?

A band booster meeting is usually held every month, during the first week of the month. It is a time when the Booster board members, director, and band leadership come together to discuss upcoming events, the needs of the band, and brainstorm ideas for future fundraisers or events. All boosters are welcome to attend.

Why are we always fundraising?

Thousands of dollars are spent each year for the Monroe band. Most of the time, the band boosters must generate this money. Some of the expenses the band may incur are: Uniforms, uniform cleaning, food, drill design, music arrangements, band staff, band camp, and school instrument repair. Band fees only support small portion of all the expenses the band has during the year.

How can I help the band and Monroe Band Boosters?

First, be the biggest cheerleader for your student! Easy, right?! Second, be on the lookout for volunteer opportunities throughout the year. Here are a few: Sound and Sundaes, Band Camp meals & snacks, and Fall Coffee Cart. Third, support fundraisers.
