Sponsorship LEVELS
Sponsorship FORM

The CATA Band Booster organization works throughout the year to support our student musicians in the form of organizing parent volunteers to assist the band with transportation, fundraising, and celebrating.  Participation in the CATA Band Booster organization can be as simple as chaperoning a field trip, sending in snacks for marching camp, or helping sell spirit wear at a football game.  Parents who wish to be involved on a larger scale might consider serving as a committee chair or taking on a leadership role in our booster board.  Regardless of your talents and no matter how busy your schedule, there is a place for you to serve our music students with the CATA Band Booster organization.  

In addition, the Band Booster organization conducts business meetings quarterly in conjunction with a pre-existing band event or performance.  The 2014-15 Band Booster business meeting schedule is as follows:

• August 15 at 6pm (Potluck Preview)
• October 21 at 6pm (Fall Concert)
• February 28 at 5pm (MPA Preview)
• May 21 at 6pm (Spring Concert)
