My responsibility as a member of the Bay High School Band Booster organization is to support the programs of the Bay High School Band, Majorettes, and Guard both financially and physically. My financial support will be in the form of paying my fees in a timely manor and supporting fund raising efforts of the organization. I will provide physical support by giving of my time to ensure my child is where they need to be on time, assist in fundraising efforts of the group and attending performances. I will ensure that the band has the help necessary to carry out its mission.
