Booster Members
Kelli Elder
President
So proud to wear all the hats — Booster President, band parent, and football mom! Watching our kids shine on the field and in the stands fills my heart with pride. Their hard work, teamwork, and school spirit make Chesapeake such a special place to be. Panther Pride is District Wide!
Jamie Bellomy
Vice President
Joining the Band Boosters gives me a true sense of community and pride in supporting a group of incredibly hardworking kids. Panther Pride means showing up for all our students in their interests, their activities, and their growth. By being involved, I hope to set a positive example and be a good role model for the younger members of our community.
Krista Lambert
Secretary
I’m so proud to be a Band Booster member, a band parent, and a teacher for Chesapeake Schools. It’s an incredible feeling to watch our students work hard, perform with heart, and represent our community with such pride and talent. Being part of this program—supporting them from the classroom to the field—reminds me every day how special our Chesapeake family truly is.
Leah Lowe
Treasurer
As a booster, I’ve seen firsthand how much it takes—both in time and in finances—to keep our program strong. From instruments and uniforms to transportation, competition fees, and equipment repairs, every dollar raised goes directly back into creating opportunities for our students. The generosity of our sponsors, families, and community events helps ensure that no student misses out because of cost, and that our program can continue to grow and represent Chesapeake with pride. Being able to support not only my own children, but the students of the Chesapeake Community fills me with pride!
Meetings
First Tuesday of every month at 6:00 pm. Everyone is invited. Meetings are held in the band room.
