CHEROKEE BLUFF BAND (PARENTS) ASSOCIATION - CBBA
WHAT IS THE CBBA?
The Cherokee Bluff Band Association (CBBA) is a voluntary association of parents, faculty, and community supporters of the Cherokee Bluff High School band program. The mission of the CBBA is to “support and enrich” the students’ musical and educational experiences under the direction of the band directors. The CBBA will provide operational and financial support for the entire band program through the dedicated efforts of its membership, under the guidance of the school administration and appointed band directors. A successful booster organization requires the participation of every family involved in the band program.
Numerous opportunities exist for every participating family to get involved. Whether you can devote an hour or several days per week, whatever your skills or interests are, opportunities exist for you to contribute to the program’s success. Speak to a member of the association’s leadership, attend association meetings, or simply show up at a practice or performance and ask how you can help. Participation offers tremendous satisfaction in being a part of your children’s band experience—the opportunity to get to know the band members and their families and share this “special” experience with your own child.
The CBBA meets twice a month. The second (or third) Tuesday of every month is our General Membership meeting starting at 7 p.m., and the first Tuesday of every month is the Band Directors/Executive Board meetings, which are closed to the CBBA Leadership Team. The purpose of each meeting is to conduct the business of the association and to communicate and discuss issues and upcoming events affecting the band program. The general membership meetings last about an hour, while the Executive Leadership meetings tend to be longer. These meetings afford all members the opportunity to have their voice heard and to shape and direct the future of the band program.
With extremely limited funding from Hall County Schools, and the many demands on our faculty and professional staff, the program cannot operate successfully without an active and supportive band parent association. A parent association cannot perform without the dedicated efforts and commitment of every family involved in the program. The CBBA is YOUR organization, and through it, you can directly affect the quality of your family’s band experience.
