From the Woodbury Band Directors The tradition of the Shaker Band Program is strong, from Woodbury through the High School. As the primary site for band students entering the program, the Woodbury Band Department is proud to be a part of such an excellent program.

At Woodbury, there are approximately 450 students in twelve concert bands and one jazz band.

We have enjoyed making great strides with each of these bands this year.

As I end my 3 years as Band Booster President, I have so many people to thank: from our dedicated band directors to our steadfast volunteers. This past year was especially crazy, not only due to our emergence out of Covid, but to the new scheduling and director assignments, which added additional challenges. We are so grateful and appreciative of the time and energy everyone has devoted to keeping the Shaker Heights Band Program strong! This year was especially hard without the guidance of previous chairs.

I also want to thank all of our band patrons (listed below). There is always a need for funding, especially after losing 1.5 years of programming. We could not have provided the support our bands needed without your generosity. Please flip over for information on becoming a band patron.

A special thank you to Stacey Hren, your Woodbury School Band Booster Representative. We are so thankful for all the support she has provided to the band directors and students.

Meg Furey will be heading the Band Boosters for 2022-23! Please support her by signing up to volunteer for one of the many opportunities that are available to support The Pride of Shaker Heights! Details will be available in the summer packet.

Register for Shaker Summer Band Camp at shakeronline.com. With kids from 5th-12th grade participating/counseling, it is a super fun and productive experience for all! Mr. Crain leads the 2 week camp and campers can sign up for morning, afternoon or all day camp. They end with a concert that is always amazing!

Sixth graders can look forward to continuing band at Shaker Heights Middle School, led by Mr Pocaro. Concert and Jazz bands continue and the students perform at 3 concerts throughout the year.

Be sure to cheer on the Marching Band during the Memorial Day Parade!

It has been my pleasure to serve you as Band Booster President.
