President
The simplest way to explain this position: REPRESENT the BANDS & Orchestra interests. Work WITH (and NEVER AGAINST) the band director and staff. Share the position of ALL parents to be discussed. Keep perspective in order and work with the administration and beyond for support as needed. Speak the truth in love, understanding that STUDENTS come 1st, but in order according to district policy and standards. Help organize the efforts of others that love the band and orchestra.
Volunteer/Alumni Coordinators

There are administrators, school boards, community agencies, businesses, faith-based entities, government agencies, youth advocacy agencies, maintenance and grounds, and management that all benefit with the student ensembles thrive. Represent us so that we are always vicariously "in the room where it happens"
Fundraising & Sponsorship Chairs
