Band Boosters
The Anchor Bay Band Boosters are a registered 501(c) (3) nonprofit, volunteer organization who’s mission is to support the students and programs associated with the Anchor Bay High School Instrumental Music Program. While fundraising is a major part of what the boosters do, it is not the sole purpose of the organization.
It is the mission of the Anchor Bay Band Boosters, in partnership with the Band Director(s) and school administration, to provide each of our students an opportunity to receive the best music education possible. We intend to accomplish this objective by providing moral, physical, and financial support to the band program in its effort to expose and apprise our children to the many opportunities available to them through participation in the musical arts. We commit ourselves to the task of assisting those less fortunate to also participate and enjoy the benefits of instrumental music membership. We pledge to promote a spirit of fellowship and goodwill with all areas of the school and always encourage our children to be the best ambassadors possible for the Anchor Bay Schools.
Our band booster organization is one of the few ways you can be actively involved in your child’s high school education. It's a great way to connect with your student and support an activity that they're passionate about. Your most important contribution will always be your presence. Simply being involved sends a powerful message to your son or daughter. There is no substitute for this precious and priceless gift.
