District 96 Band & Orchestra Boosters – Membership Toolkit Sign-Up is Now Active!
Do you have a student participating in the band or orchestra programs this school year? If so, you will want to stay "in the know" and create an account in the Boosters Membership Toolkit! In our Toolkit you will have access to the order forms for the required concert polo shirts and to register for events (such as Booster membership/donatiions and the End-of-the-Year Party), as well as forms to sign up to volunteer at Booster events. You will also be able to make purchases with your credit or debit card! Offerings will be added throughout the year as we get closer to event dates.
Forms will now be located in the Boosters Membership Toolkit and will not be sent by your band or orchestra director.
To create an account and get started, log in to BOOSTER MEMBERSHIP TOOLKIT and follow the prompts.
If you already have a Membership Toolkit account with the PTO at your student's school, you can use the same email and password to set up your Booster Membership Toolkit account.
Questions? Please contact Marlene Mahn
