History of the Phoenix Band and Colorguard Booster Club, Inc.

While the Phoenix Band and Colorguard Boosters have been supporting the Music Programs at JCB for many years, they were officially incorporated in November of 1995.

As part of it’s organizational process, by-laws were established and the first meeting of the membership was held at JCB High School on February 13, 1996 at 7:00 pm. The following is a result of the election of officers:

President:                                Martin Coleman
Vice President:                         Cindy Paine
Secretary:                                Anna Renfrew
Treasurer:                                Janet Moyer
Corresponding Secretary:          Bonnie Coleman

As a result of the hard work and dedication of many devoted parents, there have been a great deal of fundraisers to support the wonderful programs at Phoenix. Soon to come will be a list of those areas that the boosters have supported.
