Fairview Band Boosters Organization

The purpose of the Fairview Band Boosters Organization (FBBO) is to support the students and staff in whatever ways may be required—and to have a good time in the process! We are enthusiastic about continuing the tradition of excellence that has been handed down over many years. Running an organization of this size requires a great deal of money – so much of our support is financially driven. The school district provides physical facilities and a director, but less than 1% of our funding. So we must raise the funds necessary to pay for other staff, uniforms, music and drill writing, flag instruction, festival and competition entry fees, instrument and equipment purchase and repair, and transportation.

For parents, one of the most enjoyable volunteer opportunities is accompanying the band on its trips to competitions and festivals. Although we call it chaperoning, our kids really take care of themselves, so it's a matter of providing water, replacing buttons, and, in general, assisting them to be at their best for their show. Being a member of the equipment crew (affectionately known as the “Band Crew”) is another great way to show support for the band at competitions. A side benefit of these activities is that chaperones and the equipment crew get into the show for free (most of the time).

We also have good times together during fundraising activities, our monthly board meetings, and general parent meetings, which are scheduled as needed. Do not miss the opportunity to join in, help out, support the band, and in general have a good time!
