Many hands make light work. Like all self-funded arts programs, we rely heavily on fundraisers, donations, and volunteer support to make the music happen — allowing band staff to focus their attention on the students and instruction.
Booster Membership
Parents: Have a child in any of the ensembles that are part of the Broomfield High School band program? You’re awesome, but you knew that already. By supporting and encouraging your child’s music and performance interests, you’re already a band booster!
Students: Not only are you the beating heart of the these ensembles, you’re also boosters!
Alumni: Once an Eagle, always an Eagle!
We also encourage family members (grandparents, aunts, uncles, sibling, etc.), friends, or community members to come join and support the program.
Broomfield Band Parents Association
The Broomfield Band Parents Association (BBPA) is a non-profit 501(c)(3)organization whose mission is to provide logistical, moral, and financial support to the Broomfield High School band programs for students grades nine through twelve. It consists of parents, family, friends, alumni, and community members who support the Broomfield Band programs such as marching band, concert band, and jazz band, as well as extracurricular activities including Broomfield Winter Percussion and Broomfield Winter Guard.
We raise money to purchase musical instruments and pay for repairs, marching uniforms, sheet music and drill, transportation to performances and competitions, financial assistance to students and instruction costs. Our average annual program budget ranges between $100,000 and $200,000 depending on yearly competition travel and expenses.
We work hand in hand with the band director, school administration, and the BVSD Board of Education so that the band program at Broomfield High School can be maintained with the highest standards of excellence.
The BBPA holds monthly meetings that are open to the public. The schedule for these meetings will be on the band calendar, along with with scheduled rehearsals, competitions, performances, fundraisers, and other important dates. If you’d like to get involved with the band boosters, contact any of the board members listed below.
