we had a pre-season bonfire last night for our HS football team. this is DD13's first year in the HS marching band, and DH and i were really looking forward to getting involved with the band booster club. a friend of mine told me at the bonfire that the HS DISBANDED the band boosters! OMG!i'm shocked and totally stunned! we've ALWAYS had band boosters. no one knew (or wouldn't say) what happened, but i strongly suspect there were some financial discrepancies, as the school has now taken over all income and expenditures concerning football concessions (the band boosters run the concession stands at the football games). my friend and her DH are now in charge of rounding up band parents to volunteer for everything, so i'm hoping that, if we have a good year money-wise, the HS will reconsider allowing band boosters. the kids are the ones who are going to suffer for this, as the band boosters handled everything band-related.
