Band Booster Association
The Band Boosters have consistently supported the music groups of the instrumental music department and have rendered invaluable financial aid and parental backing to all the instrumental organizations. The success of the band program is due, in large part, to the active participation of the Band Booster Association.
Some of the objectives of the Band Parents are:
· To arouse, stimulate, and maintain an enthusiastic interest in all phases of the instrumental music department of the Rice Consolidated Independent School District.
· To cooperate with those in charge of the instrumental music department and the school administration to see that this department be brought to and kept at the highest possible degree of efficiency.
· To develop a closer relationship between parents and the school, fostering the musical interest and education of the children, and stimulating the knowledge, performance, and appreciation of finer music.
· To assist in the purchase of necessary items and other equipment not purchased through the school.
· To augment or encourage educational trips, contests, or concerts that are approved or sanctioned by the school and the University Interscholastic League (UIL).
· To aid in chaperoning on band trips.
MEMBERSHIP: Membership of the Rice Band Booster Association shall consist of the parents of the Rice CISD band students and any others that share an interest in music education.
