What are Band Boosters?By definition, the role of our booster organization is to "boost" the band and guard program in a positive manner through the presentation of a "united front" in support of the students, other parent volunteers, and the director(s). Membership is open to all interested parents and members of the community.
The purpose of the Rensselaer Central Bomber Band Boosters is to advance the best interests of the RC bands and color guards by providing support of the programs, donation of time toward service to the entire program, and financial support through donations and participation in fund raising efforts. Meetings are held once a month on the second Monday of the month. They start at 6:30 pm and are held in the High School Band Room.
