Music Ed Mentor Podcast #020: Parent Booster Groups
I’m a huge fan of parent booster groups. They can really help promote your program, make fundraising easier, and engage your community. Joining me to talk about booster groups this week is Ryan Crabtree, president-elect of the Colorado Bandmasters Association. More importantly, however, Ryan is my daughter’s band director. Since I’m an active member of Ryan’s parent booster organization, you’ll also get some behind-the-scenes glimpses at how and why Ryan’s approach works so well.
Ryan built our booster program from scratch. His success demonstrates how it is totally worth the effort. We’re talking about five-digit fundraising, covering travel for 130 students. Even if you already have a booster organization, you’ll want to hear Ryan’s ideas on how to accomplish more with less effort.
