Make A Difference.
Gahr Band Boosters
The “Gahr Band Boosters” is a registered 501(c) (3) nonprofit, volunteer organization whose mission is to support the students and programs associated with the Gahr High School Instrumental Music Program, under the direction of Mr. Loney. While fundraising is a major part of what the boosters do, it is not the sole purpose of the organization.
Parent involvement makes the difference in a top-quality band program. The BIGGEST MISCONCEPTIONS are that (a) we can get by with a small group of volunteers, (b) we do not need the use of freshman parents; the veteran parents already have everything handled, (c) and we do not need your services because there is nothing that needs to be done. ALL OF THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY FALSE!!
Our band booster organization is one of the few ways you can be actively involved in your child’s high school education. It's a great way to connect with your student and support an activity that they're passionate about. Your most important contribution will always be your presence. Simply being involved sends a powerful message to your son or daughter. There is no substitute for this precious and priceless gift.
Monthly Booster Meeting
All parents are strongly encouraged to attend to receive important information about the music program. Meetings are typically held the first week of the month at 6:30PM in the Band Room. Meetings are warm, welcoming, and efficient!
Become an Official Booster
Booster Membership is just $25 per person and includes an official field show t-shirt and a new Gahr Marching Gladiators drawstring bag! Wear your show shirt to field tournaments and football games to show your support.
