Welcome to the Mt. Hebron Band family!
Dear Mt. Hebron students, parents, and families,
I am so excited to welcome you as the newest members of our family. Welcome to the history and tradition of the Mt. Hebron Bands and Marching Unit that dates back to its humble beginnings in 1965. I hope that you are ready for an outstanding year filled with music, laughter, hard work, friendships, and amazing growth. I want you to know that each and every one of you is an important part of our future success. I am counting on you to help me carry on the MtH traditions while writing your own story into the history of our program.
As with any organization, communication is one of the key components of our success. I invite you to partner with me to communicate openly about how best to support you and your musical endeavors. Together we can assist every student musician in achieving their fullest potential while embracing the inherent joy of making music together.
I look forward to sharing this amazing journey with each of you.
VIKING STRONG,
Dr. Fischer

PRESENTATION DECK
PARENT VOLUNTEERS - MtHMU Boosters, Inc.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! The pandemic has not been kind to volunteer organizations and we are in the process of rebuilding our parent organization to support the ongoing efforts of the entire music program. We have volunteer needs in almost every facet of our organization and that means we need you! We will share detailed information about volunteer opportunities at the Band - Marching Unit Orientation and we are asking every family to find a way to get involved.

WAYS & MEANS
The Ways and Means Committee oversees fundraising for the MtHMU Boosters, Inc.. The Boosters’ annual budget is more than $50,000 (about $250 per band student). It is a common misconception that our band program is primarily funded by the school system, but in reality we receive less than 5% of our budget from the school! For our student musicians to have a successful band program, the Boosters facilitate a variety of fun and profitable fundraisers.

Here is our sincere request of you as a Parent…
Please PARTICIPATE and please ENCOURAGE your STUDENT(S) to PARTICIPATE!

It’s fun, limited in scope and time, and a great chance to meet other parents!
Feel free to contact any executive board member
with any questions, concerns or ideas you may have (or to volunteer!)
We look forward to working with each of you
to help make fundraising positive, profitable, and fun!
