About Us
The Redmond Mustang Band Boosters are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports the Redmond High School band program, its students and director Cory Edwards. We provide financial support and sponsor activities beyond what the school provides. Band Booster members are parents and guardians of current band students and there is no special sign up or membership dues.
