What About Parents and Guardians?
​
We need your help, too! Our band program could not function without our volunteer organization, the Estrella Foothills Band Boosters (EFBB). Our volunteers help us transport our equipment (“Band Roadies”), alter and upkeep our concert and marching uniforms, raise funds, organize food and refreshments for our students, take photos and videos, and many other behind the scenes tasks that keep everything running smoothly.
​
Please visit our Parents Page to find out more about the EFBB and how you can help.
