🎶 September Booster News 🎶

Hello, Plano Band families! We’ve had a strong start to marching season with momentum, music, and community spirit! Thank you for showing up, sharing out, and supporting our students in every way. Here’s what’s happening this month — and how you can stay involved. But first ...

💰 Fundraising Highlights

Thanks to your support, we’ve kicked off the season with two successful fundraisers:

•  🐔 Cane’s Spirit Night Aug. 26 brought in $185.

•  🛏️ Our Mattress Fundraiser (in partnership with Orchestra) sold 49 mattresses.

These efforts help us keep Family Contributions low while still providing top-tier experiences for every student. Whether you dined, shared, volunteered, or cheered us on — thank you for making a difference!

Now, on with the show ...
