Friends of Cleveland Bands (FOCB) Welcome
Welcome to the 2021–22 school year! Friends of Cleveland Bands (FOCB) is a parent-led, non-profit organization providing support for the CHS band program through volunteer service and financial assistance. To achieve this goal, we work closely with Band Director Gary Riler and many dedicated volunteers throughout the year.
Our school year got off to a great start in August with the successful return of our annual car wash, where new and returning students, and parent volunteers were able to safely socialize and raise funds for our program. There are many other ways you can participate—help out at a specific event like the annual Play-a-Thon, or join the FOCB Board and help fundraise and plan upcoming events. More opportunities will become available, as we navigate a safe and practical way for any and all parents and supporters of our student musicians to participate.
100% of the Cleveland High School Band program's budget comes from fundraising. The CHS Bands receive zero funds from the PPS District. FOCB provides funds for sheet music, instrument purchase and maintenance, extra musical coaching and clinician support, event entry fees, transportation costs, and student scholarships. FOCB funds help ensure that all students can participate in band regardless of financial status, and support a high quality musical experience for all.

FOCB Vice President
