Band Boosters
The Monacan High School Band Program could not exist without the support of the Band Boosters. This organization is made up of parents who are taking an active and concerned role in the education of their children. This organization provides the bulk of the financial stability that allows the program to grow and to provide the students with the highest quality education possible. All parents are invited and encouraged to come and be a part of this crucial element of the Monacan Band program. Participation in this group is not just work – there is a great deal of fun to be had while working closely with the students and staff. Meetings are usually held on the second Monday of each month at 7:30 PM in the band room. Come and see what you might be able to do!

Pit Crew: Steve Jackson
The band Mom serves as the head chaperone and keeps our uniforms clean and in good condition during the band season. Volunteers are needed to assist with these duties.
The Pit Crew Committee assists the Marching Chiefs with the movement of instruments on and off the field during games and competitions. The committee also supervises students at events throughout the year.

Tag Day

Tag Day is a fundraising event conducted by most Chesterfield County Bands. Tag Day allows the surrounding school community and neighborhoods the opportunity to provide financial support for the band through door to door solicitations. Your support is needed to supervise and drive the students to designated locations for this one day event.
Ways and Means Committee
Annie Mustain
Working with the Vice President, this group supports projects that produce income for the band programs. Your support is needed for events such as Car Washes, Half Time Show Sponsorships, and other projects. Funds collected from these events help to reduce out of pocket costs to parents and students. Please feel free to share any fund raising ideas.
