Thank You, Boosters!

The Shorewood Band Program would like to thank all of the members of the Shorewood Boosters for their more than generous contribute to the band program. The marching uniforms purchased are fabulous and will be part of a new and proud tradition of music and marching here at Shorewood. Our numbers in the band program have grown from 75 to 120 in a year and a half.  That fact that the kids have new uniforms at this point of our rebuilding process has added to the level of excitement and pride needed to continue to grow and progress into one of the great band programs in Washington. The attached picture is a sub-group of the marching Band in the new uniforms purchased by SWHS BOOSTERS… Spirit, pride and support since 1975!
