Welcome Letter 2012/2013

Dear Parents & Guardians:

           On behalf of the Executive Board... Welcome!  As the parent or guardian of a student in the
           Burlington High School Marching Band or Chorus, you are an automatic member of the 
           BHS Music Boosters Association.  We invite you to participate in any or all of the activities 
           of the Association.  By doing so, you support the education and well-being of your 
           high school student.

           Those of you who are new to the high school will be excited to see that BHS offers an 
           outstanding music program of concerts, musicals, banquets, parades, and other 
           performances throughout the year.  The BHS Music Boosters is committed to 
           providing support, financial and otherwise, to the BHS music students, and to this 
           program of events.  Through our fundraising efforts, we are the only Burlington 
           High School association to provide a scholarship to all marching band seniors 
           going on to higher education.

           Participation in the Boosters is a great way to meet other parents and to be included 
           behind the scenes in events that your child cares about!  Whether you have one hour or 
           an entire afternoon, once or ten times during the year, there are many different, fun ways 
           for you to participate.  Parents carry water at parades, help with instruments and equipment 
           at football games, bake, sew costumes, build or paint sets for the stage performances, stuff 
           envelopes, help with publicity, sell candy and balloons, and much more.
         
           We desperately need participation in our general meetings to make and vote on decisions  
           that affect your student – decisions that range from candy sales to scholarship amounts.  
           There are five general meetings a year every other month (dates/times will be posted soon). 
           The first general meeting (which includes an info session with the Disney Travel 
           Agent) will be Wednesday, September 26th at 7:30 (until about 9:00) PM in the 
           band practice room.  We encourage you to join us for this first meeting.  An overview 
           of the year will be presented explaining upcoming events.
