Dear Parents, Business Owners and/or Managers,

Centennial High School opened its doors in 1993 in the Kern County High School District. The school quickly began to assemble a strong music program. The program is comprised of Marching Band, Orchestra, Symphonic Band, Jazz Band, Percussion, Wind Ensemble and Color Guard. The programs compete at competitions in California. We are always very excited for the upcoming seasons. It is important for our youth and our community that the program continues to thrive and grow. This can only be possible with support from our families, friends, local businesses and corporations.

Program Overview:
Student’s families and the Talons booster club provide the majority of the dollars needed for maintenance and operations of the program. We have two areas that we are targeting to benefit from your generous donation:

♦ General Operations – This includes technical staff, transportation, equipment, music, uniforms, and show expenses. The technical staff is vital to our program by helping us refine musical and visual aspects of the program.

♦ Capital Needs – Music instruments and equipment are expensive. Sometimes these items are acquirable through school capital funds but that isn’t always the case. The boosters strive to give the students their best tools to succeed. Sponsorships can help attain these needs to support an evolving band program.

Your support in providing financial or equivalent services or items (i.e. meals, gift cards, etc.) are vital in order for the band to grow and continue to flourish in challenging economic times. Our goal as a booster organization is to ensure all students have a great experience while they are in the music program and maintain the financial foundation of the program. For local businesses, many of our “Band Families” already visit your establishments and making this commitment will enhance those relationships over the upcoming years.
