Band News and Announcements

Boosters Board Open Position

As we are nearing the end of the school year, we are looking forward to next year with your student continuing on in the Bronco Bands. We see exciting opportunities ahead and with that come more responsibilities; not just for your student , but for the program as a whole. There’s way too much work for the Directors to handle, so the Bronco Band Boosters supply a stream of volunteers. We always welcome and appreciate all of our volunteers that help in numerous ways, from moving instruments and stands from the band room to the football field on Friday nights, to helping with Festival and Solo & Ensembles. However, this year we are looking to fill one of the booster board member roles, the Treasurer position, before the 2024/25 school year.  

If you are interested in learning more about this position, please reach out to Marc Simkins, our booster’s president (president@coopersvillebands.org), or join us at our next meeting on May 9 @ 6:00pm in the High School band room to learn more. Even if you are not interested in joining the boosters board but would like to attend our meetings, please join us the 2nd Tuesday of each month @6:00pm in the HS band room. We are always looking for fresh faces and ideas at our meetings.

Reminder of High School Upcoming Dates and Future Summer Dates

With another set of successful festival performances now behind us, we wanted to take a moment to send a reminder of high school band dates for this upcoming summer.  These are the same dates as we published at the beginning of the year.  Drumline, in particular, begins earlier than the full band and is a necessary part of having a successful start.

If your student is beginning drivers training this summer, please keep our dates in mind because they do not tend to be flexible.
