The Worthington Kilbourne Band Boosters is a group of parent volunteers that serve as a support system for the Kilbourne band program and its feeders. Much of the success of the band program is a direct result of strong and supportive boosters.

The WKHS Band Boosters has a commitment to music education in the curricular and co-curricular band program. We serve as a support system to the band directors through parent involvement both as a labor force and as fundraising facilitators. It is our goal to provide a positive, healthy and supportive example to all band members.

Friends of the Band

The “Friends of the Band” campaign, which began in 1996, is a means for businesses, extended family, and friends, to show their support of the Worthington Kilbourne Bands in a special way.

Contributions go to the general Band Booster fund, and are used exclusively to support the four curricular, jazz, and marching bands that comprise the WKHS Band program. Since 1996, your contributions have been used to purchase ALL performance uniforms for the curricular and marching bands, including the curricular bands’ formal attire, the marching band and color guard. The funds have also provided additional equipment and enhanced performance opportunities that would not have been possible otherwise.

All of our donors are listed in our concert programs for the entire year, as well as being posted in the Performing Arts wing of the high school. What a wonderful way to advertise your business, and to make a statement of your support of one of the best instrumental programs in central Ohio!

Thanks to your support, we can continue to provide the best instrumental music experience possible to to each and every one of our talented students. Thank you for your generosity!
