Introduction

The Hillsboro Hawks Band Booster Club is an organization of parents, alumni and friends who support music education at Hillsboro R-3 School.  We work with the Hillsboro R-3 Administration and Band Directors for the improvement of the band programs.  Our school's instrumental program includes five levels of concert bands (Symphonic Band, Concert Band, 8th Grade, 7th Grade, and Beginner Bands), and two levels of jazz bands (Senior High and Junior High).  Hillsboro R-3 Schools boasts an outstanding team of instructors to lead these bands.

The Hillsboro Hawks Band Booster Club is a registered Non-Profit Charitable Organization. The Hillsboro Hawks Band Booster Club sponsors events and activities not only to raise funds for the Hillsboro School Band Programs but also to assist with the growth opportunities of the students and to further the common good and general welfare of the people of the community.

We look forward to another exceptional year with the Hillsboro band program this year.  We urge you to become a Hillsboro Hawks Band Booster and to assist this excellent program.

What We Do

We provide support to the marching band unit, including moving equipment on and off the field; assisting with travel, uniforms, and repairs; fundraising; offering enthusiastic support; and otherwise doing what we can to enhance the students' band experience.

Band activities include the following: concerts, Band Banquet, Jazz Dinner, Music in the Parks, competitions, and parades.  The band boosters offer musical support and spirit to the Hillsboro High School football games and for a variety of school events, including graduation.  The band provides a support group and haven for those who love music.

How You Can Help

Lots of ways:  It takes a group of dedicated students' parents to keep the Hillsboro Band program great!   The Hillsboro Hawks Band Booster Club is dedicated to the support and advancement of the Hillsboro Band program.  With competitions and performances comes the obligation for clean and altered uniforms, music, more instruments, and general repair. These items frequently are not funded by the Hillsboro School District.   As a band booster or parent of a Hillsboro band student, you have the unique opportunity  to help promote a band program with a proud legacy in our area.  Your Band Boosters Club needs every parent to become involved!  Whether it's fundraising, chaperoning, event organization, volunteering, or just showing up for monthly meetings, all that we ask is that you share with us your ideas and a little of your time and energy. Everyone has something to contribute and we need each and every one of you!
