Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I'm new here, what exactly is a Booster? A: A booster - in this case, a Scarlet Brigade Band Booster - is a parent/guardian of a student in the Scarlet Brigade Band. You became a SBBB when your student first chose band.
Q: What do Boosters do? A: We provide support in the form of volunteer time, which is extremely important! Without volunteers, we cannot raise the necessary funds to support our Band program or provide physical assistance in the form of uniform fittings, truck driving, feeding the band, etc.
Q: When/Where do you need my help? A: The short answer is now and everywhere! Our volunteer coordinators can help you find your niche so that your time and talents have the greatest impact on our program.
Q: Why do we do this? A: We do this to support our band students and staff. While they are perfecting their shows, we are behind the scenes raising the funds necessary to provide everything they need. We are also fitting uniforms, serving meals, driving trucks and chaperoning trips. It is a group effort and we need you to make it happen!
Q: When are booster meetings held? A: The Band Boosters generally meet the fourth Monday of each month at 7:00 pm in the Band Room at Fairfleld High School.
Q: Do we REALLY need all this fundraising? Where does the money go?A: Yes… we really do! Each year, SBBB spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for things like transportation to marching reviews, band/ pageantry/ drum line instructors and technicians, equipment repair, travel expenses like vehicle and trailer upkeep and feeding our kids at each of the reviews . We know that fundraising isn’t everyone’s favorite thing… but it truly is necessary to allow our band to maintain the current level of performance and success.
