Band Boosters

On behalf of the Legend Band Booster Board, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of the new and returning parents and students enrolled in the 2024-2025 Legend Band program. I would also like to start by answering a few questions.

How do you join the Legend Band Boosters?

You are in! By having a current or past student enrolled in the Legend Band program, you are a Legend Band Booster!

What do Legend Band Boosters do?

The Legend Band Boosters support all students and families in the Legend Band program, including marching band, concert & symphonic bands, wind ensemble, color guard, winter guard, percussion, indoor percussion, and jazz band. We support students, Mr. Otis, and the band program through fundraising and a tremendous amount of volunteer hours.

The Legend Band Boosters also support band families by striving to provide opportunities for family and parent social events through not only volunteering opportunities but also through regular social gatherings.

When do the Legend Band Boosters meet?

Booster meetings are held on the second Wednesday of the month at 7pm. All parents are encouraged to attend these meetings to receive the most recent band program updates, get questions answered, learn about upcoming fundraisers and volunteer needs, and meet and socialize with other great and supportive booster parents.

How can I support the Legend Band?

A program as comprehensive and successful as the Legend Band program needs everyone's support to keep it strong. There are three main ways Legend Band Boosters provide support to Mr. Otis and the Legend Band students.
