Hello Sherando Band Families
I’m Adam Stein, honored to serve as the Band Booster President for the 2025–2026 school year. As a proud Sherando Band alumnus and parent, it’s a joy to witness our students’ dedication and growth within this exceptional program.
Our band thrives not only because of talented students and dedicated staff but also due to the unwavering support from families like yours. The Sherando Band Booster Association exists solely to bolster the band’s endeavors. This is achieved through fundraising, volunteering, and by providing logistical support.
