The CMS Band Boosters are a group of parents and supporters working together to enhance the band experience for all Chichester Middle School students. We help provide volunteer support, fundraising efforts, and resources that make performances, trips, and special events possible.
Through our combined efforts, we’re able to assist with student activities, purchase needed equipment, and create meaningful opportunities for our young musicians to shine — both on and off the stage.
If you’re a parent, guardian, or family member who wants to get involved, we’d love to have you join us! There are lots of ways to help — from volunteering at concerts to supporting fundraisers or contributing ideas at our general membership meetings.
