7. LHS BAND BOOSTERS What do we do?
We support the music programs that are not funded or staffed by FCPS through volunteering and financial support.
Why participate?
There are approximately 120 students in these programs, and volunteers make the program run!
Volunteer hours among all members average between 8,000 – 10,000 hours per year. Hours are submitted to FCPS at the end of every year to show the strength of our programs.
What does the Boosters cover?
Marching Band, Indoor Guard, Concert Band, Jazz Band, Symphonic Band, bus transportation and band vehicles, uniforms, insurance, instructor fees, and much more!

8. NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization per IRS regulations – all monies are the property of the corporation
Each student has a “share” of the cost to run the program and is expected to contribute their fair share to the organization.
Share= total operating costs – “buy down” funds
the number of students
