Open Positions for 2026-2027

• Vice President

• Public Relations/Social Media

• Student Activities

These are a great opportunity to make new friends, connect with your student (they love it when parents are involved), and be a part of a tight-knit community. Please don’t be intimidated by the idea of it. All of our board members and boosters have full-time (or more!) jobs, families and outside activities. It’s not scary, I promise! Contact Susan Colombo through the Band App or csbandboosters@gmail.com.
