Welcome to the 2018-2019 Downey High School Band and Color Guard family! As we embark on the new school year we are excited to have the opportunity to support our award winning program as it continues to grow. The Booster program proudly supports the Downey High School Band and Color Guard programs. Performances and competitions throughout the year include football games, pep rallies, field tournaments, parade competitions, Winter guard, concert festivals, Winter and Spring Concerts for our families and community audiences.
The Boosters exist to support Downey High Music programs investing in our children enabling them to learn, grow, and continue this tradition of music excellence. The Downey High School Band Boosters are the largest funding mechanism supporting this program. These funds cover transportation, coaching staff, competition entry, musical equipment, uniforms, and other operating expenses for the year.
We meet on the second Wednesday of each month during the school year. Parents are welcome at all meetings and are encouraged to get involved. Without a healthy and supportive booster club, the band and color guard would not be able to reach the level that they are at today. Our Band Boosters is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
We look forward to a successful 2018-2019 season with your help. We can’t do this without you!! If you have any questions or have any concerns, please contact a board member for assistance. We can also be reached via e-mail at downeyboosters@gmail.com.

UPCOMING FUNDRAISER
SCSBOA Divisions 1A/4A Field Tournament Championships
Saturday, November 17, 2018
Director: Raul Guerrero
Committee Chairs: Lilia Haro
This will be an exciting day as 12 high schools from each division (1A and 4A) will be competing on our football field! It will take a lot of planning, coordination and hard work, but this is a great fundraising opportunity. We need every parent and student on board to make this an amazing day for all the participating schools. We will have another meeting in September (to be announced) to plan for all the work we will take on to ensure the success of this event. Most parents will help by volunteering their time and labor in many areas which include: concessions, security, parking, ticket sales, hospitality room, campus cleanliness and of course set up and tear down. Anyone volunteering will get credit towards their student’s account.
What do students do?
1. Help set up morning of event & help during 1A competition (non-parade block students)
2. Help during 4A competition and clean up after the event (all students)
3. If our Band and Color Guard make it to champs, we will actually compete in this event at our very own high school! Students, do your best on all the competitions so that you make it to champs and you don’t have to help during the 4A competition!! We still need your help to clean up after the event though…
4. Donate 1 concession item (a letter will come home in September identifying what each student will be asked to donate).
What do parents do?
1. They work 6 hours shifts! If you can't work the 6 hours, then you divide up your shift and have several adults fill in and help out. For example - Mom can work 3 hours, Dad can work 3 hours.
2. Please sign up to volunteer through SignUpGenius.com. Click the following link: http://rmd.me/YSMGQS4QJkS
If you need assistance please call Lilia Haro at 562-822-6483,and she will help you sign up.
