About the Deep Run Band Boosters

The Deep Run Band Boosters (DRBB) supports and promotes music study, composition and performance for students within the Deep Run High School Department of Bands.

The DRBB is a parent-run organization that supports Deep Run High School band programs by providing support to the Band Director, Jimmy Pennington.

These programs include classes in which students are enrolled and graded, as well as student-volunteer musical and artistic groups, including:

  • Marching Band - composed of musicians and color guard

  • Jazz Band

  • Wind Ensemble

  • Symphonic Band

  • Orchestra

  • Pep Band

  • Winterguard

The DRBB also supports the band in many other ways such as:

  • Planning band trips

  • Purchasing and managing the care and upkeep of Marching Band uniforms and accessories

  • Contracting and paying for staff to work with Marching Band

  • Purchasing music and choreography for marching shows

  • Maintaining the Wildcat Trailer that transports equipment to performances

  • Raising money for needed capital improvements (e.g., props, sound equipment)

  • Providing chaperones for games and competitions

  • Providing student meals

  • Organizing student and parent hospitality for concerts and other celebrations

  • Managing volunteers who augment our fundraising activities. For example, cookie sales, spirit nights, plant sales, band concession tent during football season

To do all of this work, parents formed the Deep Run Band Boosters, Inc. (DRBB) in  August, 2002. DRBB is an IRS Section 501(c)(3) Tax Exempt Entity incorporated in Virginia, and is run as a not-for-profit company. This means that DRBB does not have to pay sales tax on its purchases, and contributions made to DRBB are potentially tax-deductible (subject to IRS regulations).
