Band Parent Council By-Laws & Coordinator Definitions
Who is the band parent council?
We are a group of band parents who feed the students during marching band season, create marching band show props, coordinate fundraisers, help band directors as needed, and much more.
High-level timeline
May-July
- Order band wear, marching band show shirt, band parent items.
- Marching band students wear band wear underneath the uniforms during the season. This is also the only time parents can order the shirts associated with the year’s marching band show. As a way to show their support, parents/grandparents wear the show shirts during competitions. And, the band parent items can be purchased during this time so that they can be worn at various functions throughout the year.
August
- Marching band exhibition, food truck fundraiser, band parent mixer.
September
- We will request volunteers to help sort band wear.
- We will also request volunteers and donations to feed marching band & 8th graders before first football game.
October
- We will feed the students one meal during at each marching band competition. We will reach out for donations prior to each competition.
December
- Christmas concert: We will request cookie donations from parents. Cookies are served
after the concert. - Frostbite Fest. Marching band performs the show for the first time in one month. We feed the band breakfast, and will request volunteers to help serve.
April
- Solo/Ensemble Festival. WRHS hosts the statewide solo competition. Band parent council runs concession stand to raise funds to help feed the band (during the next marching season). We will request donations and volunteers to work the concession stand.

We encourage parent participation! Band is a blast, and the kids really like us to be involved. Please feel free to call anyone listed above if you have any questions or would like to let us know that you'll help this year. We're already looking forward to the fall with all the excitement and fun that band offers the kids, and we're looking forward to working together to make WRHS Band the best it's ever been!
