Central Wilkes Band Boosters, Inc. is a 501- (c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to improving music education and band students' experience at Wilkes Central High School and Central Wilkes Middle School.
If you are a parent or guardian of a member in Central Wilkes Middle or Wilkes Central High school band, YOU are a Band Booster! Your student's enrollment in band makes you a member.
Alumni and Special Friends of the band are also invited to become Boosters! The Central Band Boosters have a modest annual membership fee of $10 for those not currently enrolled with the band program.
We appreciate your support and participation!
BOOSTER MEETINGS
Each month, boosters are encouraged to participate in a multi-school booster meeting. First timers are especially urged to attend the meetings in order to become more familiar with how the band programs work. We meet on the 2nd Monday of each month to avoid conflict with WCS School Board meetings. Check the Band Calendar for times/dates and locations. The "booster website" is also an excellent way to catch up on meeting notes/agendas.
Band booster officers are elected in each year and serve a one-year term. This year's officers were elected at the band booster meeting August 8, 2022.
Bart Wright -- President
Alicia Osborne -- Vice President
Jessica Call, Jim Nieland -- Treasurer
Bridgett Byers -- Secretary
Kathryn Wright -- Social Events Chairperson
Catrina Simmons -- Band Uniform Chairperson
Bridgett, Vincent -- JV Concessions Chairperson
-- CWMS Liaison
