CFHS Band Boosters
The Catalina Foothills High School (CFHS) Band Booster Organization is an all-volunteer organization that supports the amazing Catalina Foothills Falcon Band under the direction of Mrs. Renee Shane-Boyd. We are very proud of this award-winning music program. The band is the largest high school marching band in the State of Arizona, with over 200 instrumental and color guard students. We also have students who participate in jazz, steel drum, guitar, orchestra, and small ensembles. Our groups have a reputation for excellence, receiving multiple awards each year and competing in state-wide competitions, plus being invited to perform in the Macy's Day Parade and the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade. Join us for some music, friendship, & fun!
Hello Catalina Foothills Falcon Band Families!
My name is Cheryl Phillips, and I am the Band Booster President for the 2024-2025 school year (& “Band Mom” to a Senior). On behalf of the entire Band Booster Board, it is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to each of you. The band department at Catalina Foothills has a wonderful history, and I am thrilled to have you here as a part of our community of dedicated parents and supportive volunteers.
My husband and I are both proud former band students from Portland Oregon. We were also both fortunate enough to march in the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade on January 1st, 1991, so when we heard that our son was going to get the opportunity in 2023, we were ecstatic! Watching our son, his bandmates, and the incredible band staff work hard to achieve the goals they set for themselves each year is amazing. The band is in good hands and they are ready for another successful year.
A major part of their success comes from the support system backing the band. That is US, the parents and guardians of these talented students! As band boosters, we play a pivotal role in the success of the band. Our Booster organization exists for the sole purpose of supporting the Catalina Foothills Falcon Band.
There are numerous ways – beyond financial donations – you can help the band. Volunteering and actively participating in your child’s band experience is encouraged. Even if your children won’t say this to you out loud, they need and WANT you to participate. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, is valued and appreciated. Volunteering is available at all levels – from donating water bottles, to chaperoning band trips, and everything in between!
Don’t be afraid to reach out to me or any of the board members with questions. I look forward to meeting all of the new families and welcoming back our returning families!
Go Falcons!
Cheryl Phillips
