All residents of the community are invited to be a part of the Eastern Band Boosters.
The goal of this group is to support the students who participate in the band
program to the fullest of our abilities. While many think that this support only occurs
during marching season, nothing could be farther from the truth!
Band Boosters can be found in the band room throughout the year sizing students
for their dress blacks, carrying equipment to and from the football field,
and in the stands cheering on the band as they play during basketball games.
You will even find us working the concession stands at all home BB games!
Money raised at the concessions provide the band with the bulk of their operating income.
We would love to have you join us as we support a group of students who are truly amazing!
The Next Meeting of the Boosters is on November 16 - 6pm
in the Band Room.
Normally the band boosters hold their meeting every 3rd Tuesday of the month.
