Meet the Music Boosters Board:

President- Liz Handy 

Hello! I'm Liz Handy. This is my 8th consecutive year having  one of our 3 sons involved in marching & symphonic bands. I've been a part of MB as a VP yrs ago for 2 yrs & I'm a substitute teacher. I'm so encouraged by the growing momentum of both the high school bands & choir. We want our music programs to accomplish their goals. To help make this happen, the MB roles are to support & assist Mrs. Abner & Mr. Jacobs through fundraising, planning & organization events, & aiding in all uniform/concert attire, & paying all bills associated with the music departments. I've learned so much the more I get involved. It's rewarding to help these students through these high school years. I encourage all of you to volunteer this year. If I'm on year 8 and I keep coming back, it shows you how much value it brings to my family's life and it will do the same for yours. Thank you & I can't wait to meet everyone!

Round 2: music booster board member here! I have a current junior  who has been rocking out the bass line with her tuba for a few seasons now along with conducting last season, and an incoming freshman who will also be helping fill out the awesome sound!. Music is dear to my heart and having graduated from Valley View (in a year that shall not be disclosed), and being involved in the music program at that time, this school district and the improvement of all its music programs is vitally important to me. It has been amazing to work with the boosters and see what support it lends to this amazing program. From competition fees, to band camp food, to the trailer and its maintenance, to being a support system for these amazing kids,  the entire purpose of the boosters and its members is to support and facilitate Mr. Jacobs, Mr. Burns, and Mrs. Abners high goals and aspirations for these amazing kids. 

I am so looking forward to getting to know these kids and watching them grow and do amazing things….and hopefully have a ton of fun along the way. 

 Marilee Kelhoffer (Fundraising) 

This will be my third year volunteering with the marching band, my second as a board member, and my first as VP of Fundraising. My husband, Adam, is our main trailer driver. We have four children in marching band. Jozey (trumpet) and Errol (percussion), Avery (saxophone), and Layla (euphonium). Being involved in the marching band has been an overwhelmingly positive experience for our family and this group of students is one of the best I have been around. 

We cannot keep our fees as low as they are without fundraisers. I do not intend to ask you to sell anything, but in order to do this we need family participation. I am asking each family to volunteer at least 3 times. There are many opportunities to become involved. 

Please see sign-up sheets for our planned fundraisers and select how you will volunteer.
