BOOSTER PROFILE
About the Boosters
The Kennesaw Mountain Bands Organization (KMBO), our band
booster organization, is an incorporated, nonprofit, tax-exempt organization
that exists to support the band program at Kennesaw Mountain High School. You do
not sign up to be a member, and there are no dues. All parents and guardians of
all students involved in the concert bands, marching band, colorguard,
Winterguard. and jazz ensemble are automatically members, as are the students
themselves.
The Booster Club is guided by a Board of Directors made
up of officers and members at large. The Board meetings are totally open and all
are welcome, although only Board members can vote on Board decisions. Any
booster who has an item that he or she would like to present to the Board should
contact the booster president before the meeting to be placed on the agenda. Or,
any booster can contact a Board member who will then bring that item before the
Board.
Booster Club general meetings are every month on the
fourth Tuesday at 7:30 at KMHS. Please try to set aside this evening each month
to be an active part of the group. At the meeting, you receive information from
the Board and the directors, hear committee reports, receive financial updates,
and have an opportunity to take an active part in band activities. If you can’t
attend a meeting, please check your band newsletter for current events and
activities. When volunteers are needed, the contact person’s name and phone
number are listed in the newsletter or website.
Sometimes new parents think that KMBO’s work is mostly
finished at the end of the marching season. Please know that we need your help
just as much in second semester.
KMBO is vital to the operation of the band program. The
program’s success depends on parental commitment, time, and resources. Our
directors are dedicated, talented, hard-working teachers and mentors. But they
need our help and support, as do our young musicians.
Everyone is welcome, so come out and participate whenever
possible. Even if your time is limited (whose isn’t?), there are numerous ways
in which you can make the band program even better! Your talents and abilities
are needed. Please get involved. Together we can make it happen! And you’ll get
to know your child’s friends and the parents of your child’s friends while you
support a super activity for your child – instrumental and visual performers.
