The Scarlet Brigade Band Booster organization is primarily a parent-based group dedicated to providing volunteers and raising funds to support and maintain a quality Band program at Fairfield High School. The boosters are governed by an Executive Board (eBoard) that meets regularly to plan, and manage the business affairs of the non-profit organization.

A general membership meeting, open to all Band parents, alumni parents, and interested individuals, is usually held the fourth Monday of every month. Along with monthly newsletter “Brigade News” and website http://www.scarletbrigade.com/index.htm these meetings offer the latest news about the Band and its activities. The meeting is also an opportunity to socialize with other Band parents and alumni parents and ask questions of the Band Director.

The Scarlet Brigade Boosters incorporated on January 20, 1975, although the group had been meeting many years prior to that date.  The organization operated on a much smaller scale and received most of the financial support from the Bingo Program. The majority of the support continues to be provided by our dynamic Bingo Program.  The school district only provides the Band Directors salary, cost of uniform cleaning and essential instrument repairs.

The band has grown significantly, and the Band Boosters Fundraising and the band families now pay most of the program costs. The boosters provide funding for sheet music, new instruments, additional uniforms, vehicles, special clinicians, consultants, band camp, color guard and percussion equipment, and entry fees.

The Band Boosters are proud to step forward and keep this magnificent band program alive to represent our community in a forum of unprecedented success.  With ongoing parental support Band Boosters will continue to provide an opportunity for our students to participate in a premier band program.
