Band Boosters

About the Boosters

Our Band Boosters are a Not-for-Profit organization that was founded to help the Aviara Oaks Middle School Band Program meet its financial needs & obligations.

We also are responsible for much of the administration of all students in Band. We also help ensure that the students are comfortable and prepared both in the Band Room and during the various off-campus activities.

Booster meetings are held monthly in the Band Room. Anyone is welcome to attend -- please check the calendar for the next meeting date.

Hello, I am Althea Nixon. My 7th grade son is in his second year of middle school band, playing the clarinet just like his older sister, who is now a senior at CHS, did.
