Hayfield Bands - M.S.

The Hayfield Band Boosters is an organization of band parents dedicated to helping the band program by way of a number of supportive services. The middle school boosters will meet three times this year. The band parents depend on the booster club to run fundraisers, to help with trip preparations and chaperoning, and to aid the band program in other efforts.
Volunteering in the booster club is a way for parents to become involved in their child's education. Our tradition of excellence relies on a team of volunteers, educators, and students. Following is a list of volunteer opportunities:

Booster Officers
		President :: Leads the four booster meetings and works with the vice-president to organize volunteers.
		Vice-president :: In charge of coordinating volunteers.
		Treasurer :: Deposits checks from fundraisers and writes checks for booster purchases, keeping track of all transactions; prepares and participates in an annual independent audit.
		Secretary :: Keeps a written log of all meetings.
