BOOSTERS
The Ponderosa High School Bruin Band Boosters are a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the students, families, directors, instructors, and staff of the Ponderosa High School Bruin Bands & Guard. Through volunteer service, fundraising, program support, and community involvement, the Boosters help provide resources and opportunities that enrich each student’s music education experience.
The Boosters work to strengthen the band and guard program by recruiting volunteers, supporting events, assisting with program needs, and helping raise funds for student opportunities throughout the school year.
Booster support helps make many parts of the Bruin Bands & Guard program possible. Funds raised by the Boosters may help support instrument repair, sheet music, percussion equipment, color guard flags and uniforms, drum major training, transportation fees, meals at marching band competitions, honor band opportunities, marching band shirts, concert and jazz band festivals, scholarships, leadership training, and other program needs.
Families are encouraged to get involved by attending monthly meetings, volunteering at events, supporting fundraisers, and helping create a positive and successful experience for all Bruin Band & Guard students.
