Albemarle High School Band Parents Association is a group of Albemarle High School Band student parents. The band boosters take care of many the "extra" behind the scenes things that help make this program such an amazing experience for our kids. Some of the major things include organizing two big trips each year, providing logistical support for competitions as needed (the Marching Band, for example, travels to 5 to 6 competitions each year), organizing for events like the Spring Jazz benefit,  managing the overall fund raising effort, and so much more. We also create opportunities that give students the ability to raise money to help offset their "fair share" fees for the big trips and for Marching Band. The Band Boosters is registered as a 501(c)(3) organization. 

Band Boosters meetings are the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7:00 in the AHS Band room or sometimes in the adjacent Choir room. All parents of students in the band program are welcome and encouraged  to attend, especially if you are interested in being more involved.

All band members and parents are also invited to come support the Marching Band at its competitions. Entrance fees at the competition are usually somewhere around $5 (pay at the gate). The competitions are an opportunity to see many local (and some distant) high school marching bands. It’s like watching a day of half-time shows.

We are also always looking for sponsors to help us fund some of the big ticket wants like:
  • Bringing in outside musicians to run clinics and workshops for our student musicians
  • The new/replacement instrument fund
  • Supplementing our regular fundraising to allow us to keep our student fees well below what many of our peer school charge
