Welcome 2024-2025 School Year!
We're releasing new website, and there's lots of update in this month.
New Website : www.phsmusicbooster.org
We're super excited about our new website! It's gonna be the go-to spot for all the deets on upcoming events for parents and students. Plus, we'll be looking for awesome volunteers to help out with our activities. Can't wait to see it all come together!
So, there are like six sections listed below.
NEWS: this is where you'll find all the latest news related to the music department. You can expect updates on upcoming events, music department happenings, monthly booster updates, and more. Stay tuned!
CALENDAR:we'll be posting all the cool stuff coming up here, like practice schedules, competition dates, music concerts, and more. You'll find all the info you need on the calendar events, including details and even links to RSVP if you want to volunteer or purchase concert tickets.
VOLUNTEER: just a heads up - we're looking for plenty of volunteers to make sure the kids have a blast with their music activities. When competition seasons roll around, we could really use some committed folks to pitch in with things like the food committee, driving trucks and trailers, setting up props, taking photos, and more. We also need some extra hands for concerts and events. If you're up for lending a hand, please check out this section and fill out the volunteer submission form. Thanks a bunch!
