The mission of the Golden Valley High School Band Boosters is to promote excellence in education through support of an outstanding Music and Color Guard program.
The Golden Valley High School Band Boosters support the program by:
- Raising funds to pay for or subsidize music education personnel and equipment. This means that we canvas local businesses and sell a lot of meal tickets, sweet treats and fireworks! We spend the money that some in on instruction, musical scores, marching choreography, flags, equipment, instrument repair, and other musical education related expenses.
- Encouraging and supporting each other as we send our students through the last phases of their education before they venture out on their own. You would be amazed at the quality and quantity of advice and information one can get while putting hair into shakos, dispensing refreshments and loading and unloading the instrument trailer or riding the bus up and down Highway 99.
- Facilitating financial transactions. This means that we collect fees from students and their parents and guardians, but write one check to the vendor(s). This simplifies the interaction with the band for the vendors and makes them more prone to do business with us, usually at a lower cost to both parties. These fee collections are NOT fundraisers and we do our best to set the fees at the 'break even' point.(fair share)
