Band Boosters

If you have a student enrolled in any of the bands at Washington High School, then you are a member! We are a group of parents committed to enhancing the experience of our band students by:

Providing and organizing volunteers for various band activities
Facilitating communication between our band directors and our band parents
Managing fundraisers for students to help offset the cost of band activities
Advocating for the band program to the greater Sioux Falls community

In the late summer and fall, you’ll see dozens of parents helping out the marching band: fitting uniforms, making costumes, flags and props for the Color Guard, moving percussion equipment during competitions, chaperoning, providing refreshments for long bus rides and helping the kids and the directors do whatever has to be done.

There is spirit wear to be sold, student fundraisers such as our Hy-Vee Shopping Cards, requests to provide support for concerts, or even help work at concessions. We provide chaperones for band tours and hold several major fundraising events that help to offset tour costs for all students.

Why get involved? The parents are fun, the kids are a blast, and the music is superb. You can take on a big role or be an occasional volunteer – or even just come to our meetings and listen to what’s going on in the band program. Band Booster meetings are held the second Monday of the month at 7 PM in the band room. We’d love to see you there!
