Welcome to all our new and returning families to the '26-27 Season!

As Keith Krelove mentioned in the welcome email to students, our first Booster Parent Meeting is scheduled for July 8, 2026, at 6:00pm in the cafeteria at Truman High School.  It is mandatory for parents and students and it will be a social and informational meeting.  We ask that you enter through door B-12 where the band room is located. We will provide light refreshments, a chance for everyone to meet, and important information for this season.

MEMBERSHIP & MEDICAL FORMS:

Now that students are enrolled in Marching Band, the Boosters organize the registration, collect emergency contact forms and dues.   Membership and Medical Form links are here to google forms to fill it out online.   Your student will not be able to participate if these forms are not handed in.  Paper copies will be available at the Booster Parent Meeting, but online google forms are preferred. Please take a moment to fill these out for each student.

STUDENT REGISTRATION

EMERGENCY CONTACT Form-REQUIRED to participate in Band Camp

PARENT HANDBOOK

Please find attached our parent handbook which has information about band camp, dues and includes paper copy of the registration and emergency contact forms if you wish to print and fill them out at home.

The desire of the Truman Band Boosters is to have all interested students participate in Band. If you have a financial hardship, please talk to the Band Director, Keith Krelove the Booster President, Trish Ryan or the Booster Treasurer, Terri Sweeney so that arrangements can be made.

UNIFORM SIZING:

Please click on the link below to schedule your instrumental student for their uniform sizing. We would like to complete all of the sizings before band camp so that the uniforms will be complete for picture day. The dates for sizing are 7/8, 7/15, 7/22 with a section of morning slots and a section of evening slots during sectionals.  Please note we would prefer returning students to come on the 8th to try on their current uniform to see if it still fits before going into sizing for new students.

This sizing is for instrumental students only. Color Guard members will do their sizing with Michelle at another time.

Uniform Fitting/Measurements

Returning members: please have your student bring their marching band shoes (Dinkles) to their uniform sizing. Please also have them try on their band shirt and dinkles before sizing, to see if they need to order new ones.

New members: please know your dress shoe size and/or be prepared to try to sample shoes. Please wear socks! 

WATER DONATIONS:

We are requesting that each band member donate a case of water. We use this water during band camp and at games. You can drop this water off at our first parent meeting or first day of band camp. Water can be brought to the booster office, right across from the band room.

We look forward to meeting you all on July 8th!
