Band went from 21 to 44 students this year.  Mr. Benoit is asking for more money for band.   (more chairs, music chair dollies, instruments are old and broken, sound system, etc.)

It would take at least $3,000 for marching band to just get off the ground.  Middle and High School are 2 separate organizations.  Mr. Benoit would like a travel stipend.  Board will discuss at working session.  Booster has paid $936.00 for travel expenses.
