WSHSB
Band Boosters 2012-2013
The
WSHSB
Boosters are band parents who contribute their time and talent to fill the variety of
needs of the band program. Each job – no matter how large or small - is necessary.
Since the band’s inception in 2001, to make the band what it is and keep our fees as
low as possible; no one is compensated for what they do. In
order for the band to survive we rely on the assistance of ALL the member families. Starting
with the 2012-2013concert season, we are instituting a required sign-up system for WSHSB Booster hours. We are requiring one parent
from every family
to sign-up for at least 4 Booster hours per band calendar year (from Orientation Meeting
through the end of July).
Some jobs are ongoing while some are one-time only. Sign up at http://signupschedule.com/wshsb. Please
know that there will be ads on this site because we have chosen the free version. Signing
up for the required Booster hours must be completed as part of the registration process
and before your Fall registration will be accepted. Music will not be distributed until
registration is complete. This obligation needs to be taken seriously. Please 1) Sign-up if you did not fulfill your initial task or consider an additional open job if your first was not too demanding. 2) Do the task you agreed to. 3) Find a replacement if you can’t fulfill your job. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. CATEGORIES WEEKLY
