Band booster clubs support and collect the necessary funding for school band activities. Boosters support all types of school bands, from marching and concert bands to PEP and flag corps. Club members are parents, school staff, alumni, and members of the community.  Booster club members' responsibilities are to raise funds and identify the band's needs; they also support band personnel and their curriculum and boost the profile of the band booster club. Money raised is used for general necessities such as band uniforms, banners, trip funds, and contest entrance fees. Band booster clubs encourage students' hands-on participation during events and promote student involvement and development.

Distributed by The R.L Watkins Co., New York, NY for Sterling Remedy Company, Cascarets Candy Cathartic (later Laxative Tablets) were manufactured starting in 1869 and continuing well into the 1940s, when advertising of them stopped, although it is unclear when production of the tablets ceased. The ingredients in Cascarets were phenolpthalein and cascara, made from the bark of the Cascara Sagrada tree, native to British Columbia and long used by Native Americans as a laxative. The rectangular tins of six tablets sold for between ten and fifty cents, and were carried by most druggists.
