Amherst Marching Comets - Amherst Bands

💚Band parents truly are the real MVPs!💛

Whether they’re volunteering behind the scenes, working fundraisers, chaperoning trips, hauling equipment, handing out water, sewing last-minute uniform repairs, or cheering from the stands, their dedication helps make every rehearsal, performance, and memory possible.

Our students succeed because of the incredible support system surrounding them. Thank you to every parent, family member, and volunteer who gives their time and energy to support our band program. We appreciate you more than you know!

If you’d like to be part of that support system, we invite you to join us at our next Band Boosters Meeting this Tuesday. Every helping hand makes a difference, and there are opportunities for everyone to get involved—whether you have an hour to give or can take on a larger role.

Together, we can make this an amazing season for our students! 🎺🥁🎶

Band Boosters Meeting:
Tuesday, June 23rd
6:30pm in the High School Band Room
Enter from the South Parking Lot

We hope to see you there!
