Boosters

What We Do: We provide support to the marching band unit, including moving equipment on and off the field; assisting with travel, uniforms, and repairs; fundraising; offering enthusiastic support; and otherwise doing what we can to enhance the students' band experience.

How You Can Help: Lots of ways! It takes a group of dedicated students and parents to keep the Truman Tiger Marching Band program great! The boosters are dedicated to the support and advancement of the Band program. With increasing numbers comes the obligation for new uniforms, music, and more instruments. These items frequently are not funded by the Bristol Township School District. As a band booster or parent of a Truman Tiger band student, you have the unique opportunity to help promote a band program with a proud legacy in our area. To continue and expand on our tradition of excellence, your Band Boosters Association needs every parent to become involved!

Whether it's fundraising, chaperoning, event organization, volunteering, or just showing up for monthly meetings, all that we ask is that you share with us your ideas and a little of your time and energy.

Everyone has something to contribute and we need each and every one of you!
