About the
Band Boosters
Who We Are
Parents and guardians of band students enrolled in the Westmont Junior High School and Westmont High School Bands are automatically members of the Westmont High School Band Boosters of CUSD 201.
You'll often find us supporting our students at a football or basketball game, at a parade or concert. There's a lot of work we do behind the scenes too!
We do not have membership dues. We encourage active participation. Even if your time is limited, there are numerous ways in which you can help make the CUSD 201 Band Program better.
Support Our Mission
Share Your Talents
There are plenty of projects for everyone who wants to be involved. The more involved you are, the more you experience the benefits that your student enjoys as part of the band. Don’t wait to be asked: volunteer where you see you are needed. If you want to be involved but don’t see a job to be done, ask for ideas, there are plenty to go around.
Share What We Do
We raise monies to fund expenses beyond what the school budget supports, such as instrument repairs and replacement, transportation to clinics and band festivals, and potentially new marching uniforms. We realize students may already be selling candy, cookies/dough or magazines for other organizations so we have alternative opportunities to invite the community to support the band program, such as Flockings, the Annual Craft Show and performances by the Jazz Ensemble at area restaurants.
Please tell friends and family about these opportunities to support the Westmont High School band program! Learn more.
Attend Monthly Meetings
Band Boosters meet monthly, typically on or about the last Monday of the month at 7pm. Agendas and past minutes are available on the Documents page.
These meetings are a good opportunity to learn about upcoming band events, ie. what is expected from students and parents, as well as planning for any fundraising events. We are always seeking new ways to raise funds for the program.
