Parent Volunteers Needed

Dear Band Parents,

Welcome to the Bay City Central Band Boosters. As a parent of a Central Band Student, you are automatically a member of the Bay City Central Band Boosters. We provide volunteers, financial resources, and support for the band program.  We also keep you up-to-date on band events via e-mail and the band website www.bccbands.net.

There is no membership fee for general members. You may consider becoming a Gold Band Booster (donation of $50.00) or a Purple Band Booster (donation of $25.00) if you would like to give additional financial support to the band or if you prefer not to participate in fundraising.

The Band Boosters hold fundraising activities throughout the year to raise money for the band.  A large portion of the funds we raise go directly into individual student accounts to offset the costs associated with being in the band program (camp, instruments, trips, uniforms, social activities). The more fundraising programs students participate in, the more money they can accumulate in their account.

A very popular way of getting money into your child’s account is through the SCRIP program. More information can be found at www.shopwithscrip.com .  Our organization’s enrollment code is 7D2B31E94141.  This is a process whereby you buy gift cards for businesses and a % of each card goes into your student’s account.

Although the program benefits have changed recently, you may also enroll online in the Meijer Community Rewards program @ http://www.meijer.com/rewards/. These are your first opportunities to earn money for your band student.

Band Booster meetings are held the last Tuesday of all school months at 7:00 pm in the 1^st floor staff lounge. The specific dates are listed in our calendar.  We would love to see you at our meetings.
