Rockwall High School

Message from the Booster President

 

​

Welcome, all new and returning parents to our Orange Wave Band Boosters.

 

We are a 501(c)3, non-profit organization that exists to support the band program at Rockwall High School.  The basic objective and purpose of the OWB Boosters is to create and maintain an enthusiastic interest in band-related activities, to assist in fundraising activities, and to cooperate with our band directors in creating a fun, memorable, and successful band program.  We also promote the ways and means of providing for the needs of the band above and beyond those supplied by Rockwall ISD.

 

To our new band parents, prepare for one of the most amazing, rewarding, fun, and life-enriching experiences you will have the opportunity to share with your child during their high school years!  The memories and benefits your child can get from a positive experience in an organization such as the Orange Wave Band can last them a lifetime.  In a large school like Rockwall High School, where individual students can easily get lost in the shuffle of many students, the band program gives them the opportunity to have friends with common interests and build special bonds.  Additionally, it is well known that students involved in arts education often excel in academics.

 

The success of the band program depends upon our commitment, time, and resources.  The band directors are multi-talented, hard-working, dedicated teachers and mentors to our students, but they depend upon the dedication and support of the band parent organization to continue the tradition of excellence exhibited by the bands of Rockwall High School.

 

It takes a tremendous effort of volunteer support to run a highly competitive band program.  We need many team leaders and volunteers.  We want and need your help!

 

We are here to help guide you and provide specific information regarding the band program and activities, please feel free to call or email any board member, check the website (orangewaveband.com), or check the Band app. Be sure to attend our Parent Meet & Greet on Saturday, August 10 at 9:30am;  this is an excellent opportunity for new band parents to meet other band parents, ask questions, and get acquainted.

 

Again, welcome, join in, and come have a lot of fun with us this year!
