RHHS BAND BOOSTERS

DEAR BAND FAMILY:

 

Welcome to the RHHS Band Program! The RHHS Band Boosters organization provides support primarily for band activities and ensembles. This is accomplished through volunteering, coordinating activities and events, and ongoing fundraising. The Band Booster budget is allocated to the director to be used towards the purchase of new or replacement equipment, instruments and music; stipends for guest artists and master classes; and items that are not provided by the County. We are committed to providing the necessary resources so that we can continue to provide an outstanding musical experience. 

 

To help support these activities and enhance the music education of our children, the RHHS Band Boosters needs your financial support! The Band Boosters is one of the few parent organizations at River Hill that does not charge a membership fee. If you have a child in band, are an alumnus, or just enjoy supporting music education, you are a band booster.
 

Furthermore, since we are not permitted to collect a general fee for classroom-related activities, we rely heavily on donations to fund Band Program needs, which include music, instruments, repairs, scholarships, master classes, concert attire, guest artists/clinicians, and other equipment. We need support from ALL of our band families who appreciate the hard work and accomplishments of our musicians.
 

We will issue a tax receipt for all donations received. Your donations may qualify as a charitable deduction for federal income tax purposes. We also encourage you to approach local businesses and your employers to consider sponsoring our music program.

 

We hope that everyone will take this opportunity to support our music program and help to assure the success of our students. Our goal is to raise $7,000 this year. If every band family donated just $100, we would be well on our way to meeting that goal. Our high standards of excellence require commitments of time and energy but also require funding to provide for the musicians who proudly represent River Hill High School.

 

Individual/family donations may be made by filling out the Individual/Family Donation Form and returning it with a check or cash.  Donations may be placed in the black lock box in the band room or mailed to the address on the form.  Corporate donations may be made using the Corporate Donation Form.
