Booster Officers
Presidents
Band Booster Presidents oversee the operation of the Band Booster organization, working closely with Band Director Mr. Mike Renzi and his staff, Bishop Watterson High School administration and others interested in the band and color guard, all working to ensure that band activities go forward in a way that is beneficial to all the students and parents that are involved with the Bishop Watterson High School Marching Eagles.
The Presidents, traditionally composed of a husband and wife team, conduct the Band Booster Meetings, which are usually held on the third Thursday of every month during the school year. The presidents also coordinate the work of the Committee Chairs. The President appoints a non-voting representative to the Bishop Watterson School Board. The Presidents recruit Committee Chairs and help to recruit future officers of the Band Booster organization.
The Presidents communicate with members of the Band Booster organization between meetings usually by emails.
