Please check the site often as updates will be made regularly.

Not only are we on Twitter, but we now have our own group on Facebook. Come, join the group to
stay updated on your favorite social networking site.
- The July Newsletter has been posted here-
- The next Band Booster meeting -
The Band Boosters meet the first Wednesday of every month (ok, we usually take a break and skip the June meeting).
This will be Wednesday, August 7th, at 7:30 pm in the High School band room.
Every parent is a member, so come and make your voices heard!
Final preparations for band camp and getting the show together are on the agenda.
- Fundraisers -
Unfortunately, running a band program requires money, so that means fundraising. There are many ways for kids and their parents to earn
money toward their band fees
- Car Washes– The car wash dates have changed. Check the calendar for dates, or call contact Jennifer Iqbal
- Kroger Gift Cards – The band has signed up with Kroger on an easy to use fundraiser. Buy a Kroger gift card from the band for $2.00, with $2.00 loaded on it. Then when you go to Kroger, load the card at the service desk with the amount you are going to spend,
then use it at the register. The band will get 4% of the money loaded on these cards. A great way to make money for the band with something you need anyway. Contact Claudia Fluhart to get your card now!
- Entertainment Book Sales – We will be selling these again at the end of August. One change is students can check out books to sell. We aren’t just going to send home books with everyone.
- Parent Service Credit has Changing -
The way parents can earn credit toward their students fees is changing. Click here for all the details.
You asked for it - and we have it. The boosters have added PayPal as an option to pay your band fees.
Paypal is a secure service that you can use to pay bills on-line using a credit card, a bank account, or even their own account.
It is extremely simple and secure to use (it is one of the biggest payment methods used on eBay (and is now owned by eBay),
and everyone knows how many transactions go on there. In addition we would also be able to use it for ticket sales for our
various special concerts. Click here to pay your fees on-line!
Please note - in order to cover our costs for this service, a 5% fee will be added to all PayPal transactions, labelled as
a shipping charge
- GoodSearch -
This Internet thing is really picking up steam, and we are all over it. We are now affiliated with
GoodSearch.com - a search engine that gives donations to charities when people use it for doing web searches.
You can install it as a toolbar on your browser, and then every time you do a web search it generates a donation
to the band. In addition, if you use the site for shopping, we can earn even more. It is an easy way to help the band.
Click the banner below to go to their site, with full instructions. In the box that under the label "Who do you good search for?"
enter "West Carrollton High School Band Boosters".
Thanks to band teacher Clay Bates for getting us registered!
- 2009-10 Band Officers -
Each year the band elects student officers. These students lead the band, plan and organize the bigs and littles picnic, and are
the student liasons to the boosters. Information about this years officers can be found here.
- New Student Information -
You started playing your instrument in 6th grade, and over the next three years fell in love with music, and now you want to join
the High School marching band program. Great, and we look forward to all the new freshmen coming in this year. We had a brief informational
session after the 7th and 8th grade band concert last year. For anyone who missed this, or anyone looking for more information on
the band program, we have a summary available for download here.
- Private Lesson Reimbursement -
The boosters have made available a limited amount of money to help students with private lessons. Reimbursement is availble
for up to 50% of the cost of private lessons (max of $10.00 per lesson), up to a maximum of $100.00 per student per year, as
long as the funds are available. In order to qualify, a student must submit a request available here.
The request must be approved by a band director and a booster board member before any reimbursements will be made.
In addition, a receipt for each lesson must be submitted with instructors signature and date to receive the reimbursement. The
lessons must be relevant to the band program (so guitar lessons for marching band aren't eligible, however if the student is
playing guitar in jazz band then they would be.)
