Kudos to the more than 20 band students who are participating in the Brighton Musical Frozen which opened this weekend. The show is spectacular!
Fundraising
Butter Braids individual-benefit is coming to a close, with orders and payment due Monday, March 16, by 6 PM! If your family has received a notice of a balance due, the credit to your student’s account of $7 per item ordered is an opportunity for neighbors or colleagues to get a tasty frozen item to be thawed and baked later and help offset that balance! Items will be delivered on Tuesday, March 24, at the end of the school day.
Lacrosse Concessions for the regular season begin on Wednesday, March 18. We need one parent and three student volunteers for each shift!
Band Portraits
Thanks to Erin Roosen and Laura Zizka-Wright for ensuring that the quadrennial BHS Band Photos could get scheduled and photos taken this past week! And thanks to Kelley Blanck and Bekah Murray (and current and alumni band students) for handling the collection of the Marching Uniform pieces. If you discover any uniform pieces at home, please have your student bring them to the Band Room. If you had not realized that there would be an opportunity to purchase prints from the quadrennial BHS Band Photos and would like to do so, here is the price sheet with payment QR Code.
Bond Proposal Action
If you are willing to host a “Yes for BAS” Yard Sign in your yard to share the message about the upcoming BAS Bond Proposal for the May 5, 2026 Election, please complete this form and a yard sign will be delivered to you soon.
NYC Trip
Tuesday rehearsals for the students going to NYC are now every other week, with no rehearsal on March 17th or 31st, but rehearsals after school on March 24 and April 7.
I hope you have all come through the wintery blasts and strong winds intact!

Welcome!
​
The Brighton Band Boosters is a non-profit organization of parents and care-givers dedicated to working in partnership with our Band Directors to create a one-of-a-kind experience for our band students. We support all aspects of the band including the marching band, drumline, and color guard, as well as the multiple concert bands at all three schools.
​
The Boosters are run by a board of volunteers elected by our members each year. We provide all band parents and guardians the opportunity to actively support our amazing band programs by helping with things such as chaperoning events and student socials, helping to move band equipment and distributing uniforms, assisting with concert publicity, fundraising, and more. Our goal is to keep things running smoothly so the band directors can focus on the students and the music. Our fundraising efforts, most notably the sale of concessions during BAS sporting events, provide valuable financial support to the bands.
​
The Boosters meet once a month. Meetings are open to parents and care-givers from BHS, Scranton and Maltby and include information concerning the future of the band programs, upcoming events, and areas of concern or need. Throughout the year you will receive email newsletters from the Boosters with event updates and volunteer opportunities. To learn more about how you can contribute to the on-going success of our band programs please contact the Booster President JuliAnne Diesch or attend one of our upcoming meetings.
