Meetings
The Booster Club is guided by a Board of Directors made up of elected and appointed officers.
Parents and guardians of band students are invited to attend meetings of the Newsome Band Boosters to stay informed of the band’s activities and learn ways to support the music program.
While meetings are open to all affiliated parents and guardians of current band members, only Booster Members may vote on agenda items.
Activities
The Band Boosters perform a variety of activities including constructing props, maintaining uniforms and equipment, fundraising, coordinating travel/transportation, and chaperoning. In addition to volunteering time, boosters provide the band with community resources including financial support, donations, and access to equipment and facilities.
Being a booster is rewarding and fun! Parent chaperones are a necessary part of moving the band to our scheduled venues including football games, competitions, MPAs, and parades. Hillsborough County requires adult supervision on all school trips. Additionally, parent chaperones assist the band by handling drinking water, loading equipment, and helping students carry equipment on and off of the field. All volunteers must have a completed Y.E.S. form on file with the school district. Sometimes, we have more chaperones than we need. A booster board member uses a fair system of selecting chaperones to travel with the band.
