Thank you Band Boosters for your financial support of this website!

The Centerville Band Boosters are a group of parents that are dedicated to improving the experience for band students in Centerville.
The Band Boosters support, financially, the high school band trip, the elementary symphony trip, various social events of the bands,
and this website. The boosters also volunteer countless hours to help oversee fundraising, public relations activities and work to ensure
