Student-first
We begin with what helps young musicians learn, participate, and succeed.
About the boosters
Built by the people who show up.
Parents, families, alumni, and neighbors working together so Cocalico student musicians have a community behind them.
Our purpose
We exist to help Cocalico music thrive.
Cocalico Band Boosters Inc. is an independent, volunteer-led nonprofit whose mission is to promote and support the band and music programs of Cocalico High School.
We work alongside the school while remaining a separate organization. Through fundraising, volunteering, and community participation, we help create the conditions for student musicians to prepare, perform, and grow together.
What guides us
Four ideas. One shared direction.
Good booster work happens when decisions stay focused on students, relationships, and responsible support.
Together
Families, educators, alumni, and neighbors each bring something valuable.
Responsible
We treat community trust, volunteer time, and donated resources with care.
Welcoming
There should be a clear, useful way for every supporter to take part.
