The Deep Run Band Boosters (DRBB) was created exclusively for charitable purposes to promote music study, composition and performance for students within Deep Run High School Department of Bands. The DRBB is a parent-run organization that supports Deep Run High School band programs by providing support to the Band Director, Jimmy Pennington. These programs include classes in which students are enrolled and graded:
Marching Band - composed of musicians and color guard
Two Concert Bands - Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band
Jazz Band
The DRBB also supports the band in many other ways such as:
Pep Band - by providing organizational support to this student run activity
Winter Guard - providing organizational support
Planning band trips, such as Disney World trip in March 2017
Managing the care and upkeep of Marching Band uniforms
Purchasing new Marching Band Uniforms. New uniforms purchased in 2016
Purchasing other articles that are required for the show such as shoes and gloves
Contracting and paying for staff to work with Marching Band
Purchasing music and choreography for marching shows
Maintaining the Wildcat Trailer that transports equipment to performances
Raising money for needed capital improvements (e.g., props, sound equipment)
Providing chaperones for games and competitions
Providing student meals
Organizing student and parent hospitality for concerts and other celebrations
Managing volunteers who augment our fundraising activities. For example, cookie sales, spirit nights, plant sales, band concession tent during football season
To do all of this work, parents formed the Deep Run Band Boosters, Inc. (DRBB) in August, 2002. DRBB is an IRS Section 501(c)(3) Tax Exempt Entity incorporated in Virginia, and is run as a not-for-profit company. This means that DRBB does not have to pay sales tax on its purchases, and contributions made to DRBB are potentially tax-deductible (subject to IRS regulations).
