Dripping Springs Tiger Band Boosters
What does DSBB do for the kids?
The Dripping Springs Band Booster (DSBB) organization is made of up parents and friends of the Dripping Springs High School band students. As a member of the DSBB, you are part of the award-winning Tiger Band program – the largest organization in the high school. Your family membership helps to defray the costs of keeping our highly successful band program competitive. The Band Boosters provide financial assistance, helping to defray the costs of key items such as instrument purchases, maintenance and repair, marching music and drill design, additional band technicians for marching, percussion and color guard assistance, props, uniform repairs and replacement, equipment trailers and transportation, a music library, and software for the Smart Music program as well as scholarships for private lessons and college. It’s not all about money, however; the boosters also provide physical and moral support to our bands by moving equipment, chaperoning trips, cheering from the stands and much more. Our band kids compete in what is quite possibly the toughest Area in the state for music, so it truly takes a village to be successful. Be sure to check out the Volunteer section to learn more about all the ways you can help.
What does DSBB do for the you?
But joining band boosters is not all about what you can do for the band – it’s also about what being a booster can do for you! As one long-time band parent puts it, “Band Boosters is where I go to find out what’s really happening in band from a parents’ point of view. I know I can ask ‘parent-to-parent’ questions such as ‘Does it matter if we don’t wear white t-shirts to practice’ or ‘my child doesn’t have time to do his homework – how does yours get it done’? Taking an active role as a band parent keeps me involved in my teenager’s life, and I’ve made some great friends along the way. The band kids are taught to ‘band together’, and the Band Boosters keeps the parents banding together as well.”
When does DSBB meet?
Your Band Booster Board will hold open meetings at least semi-annually -- check the calendar and newsletters for 2024-2025 dates -- but we always want to hear from you!
The Dripping Springs Band Boosters will be holding a general membership meeting on December 2, 2024, at 6:30 pm in the DSHS band hall. All parents and legal guardians of members of DSHS band, DSMS band, SSMS band, and DSHS colorguard are welcome to attend.
