Dear JET Band and Color Guard Families,

We hope you're enjoying the start of a fantastic summer! We would like to extend a heartfelt welcome to all our new students and families joining us for the 2025–2026 season! We’re so excited to have you as part of our community. Whether you're brand new or returning, we’re kicking off this season with something special—our newly rebuilt website, JETBand.org, now powered by BoosterHub! This new platform is designed to make your experience smoother, more connected, and easier to navigate than ever before.

Please Read This Entire Message Carefully

We wanted to share some important information and resources with you—and remind you of some very important details about Summer Band, Registration, Dues, Remind Codes, and Helpful Links.

Things have changed, and while this message is long, it contains everything you need to start the season off right. Please take the time to read it all the way to the end.

Why the Change?

Over the past few years, we’ve outgrown our previous platform, Membership Toolkit. After searching for a more user- and band-friendly solution, we’ve made the switch to BoosterHub—a fully integrated mobile app and website built specifically for booster clubs. This new platform will streamline communication, simplify registration, and help us stay organized throughout the year. Here are some of the great features you will find as you explore the new site.

Spotlight: Summer Band – A Must-Read for EVERY Band and Color Guard Family!

While exploring our new website, make sure to visit our Summer Band 2025 page.

Its Time! You Need to Register your Family!

All band and guard families are required to register on the new site.

PARENTS- we ask that YOU complete this registration for your family. Once you do it will invite your student and an optional second parent to join by email and text.

NOTE: Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and Click “Complete registration” and read the below for important details on the process.

To join our club on BoosterHub, please register online using the link below.

Once you register, you will receive an invitation from team@boosterhub.com to join our club. You must verify your email address by clicking the link in that email.

Didn’t receive the email?

Check your spam or junk folders and be sure to add team@boosterhub.com to your contacts to avoid missing future communications.

After verifying your email, you can download the BoosterHub app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and log in. If you experience any login issues, visit boosterhub.com and use the Live Chat Support feature for assistance.

Registration Tips

• Your email address is your login and unique identifier. Each parent/guardian and student MUST use a unique email.
• Students MUST use a personal email address.
• Do not use your @students.katyisd.org email—this will cause communication issues.
• Need to add more than two parents/guardians? Submit the form again using the same student email so they show related to the student on our back end.
• Indicate your volunteer interests during registration—this isn’t a commitment, just a way to connect you with the right committees.

Dues & Payments

Once you get accepted as a member, it’s time to make your first payment. As outlined in Mr. Ary’s commitment letter:

• Dues are due on the 1st of each month and considered late after the 15th.
• NEW Late Fee Policy: A $25 late fee will apply to payments received after the 15th starting in July.
• Families qualifying for Free/Reduced Lunch may request financial aid by contacting me directly at president@jetband.org.

To pay dues:

1. Log in to JETBand.org or the BoosterHub app.
2. Go to the Store and look for “2025/2026 Band Fees.”

Payment Options:

• Pay in Full ($825): Receive $25 in Booster Bucks if paid by June 30^th. Booster Bucks can be used as a credit for future payments on BoosterHub with the JET Band such as fees, gear, spirit store, etc.
• Payment Plan (Highly Recommended!): $225 now, then $200 on July 1, August 1, and September 1.
• ✅ We strongly encourage this option! Life gets busy, and this plan helps you stay on track and avoid late fees. It’s automated and easy to manage.
• Monthly Manual Payments: Use the “June Band Fees,” “July,” “August,” and “September” items individually.
• ⚠️ Note: You’ll be responsible for making each payment on time manually—late fees apply after the 15th of each month.

Questions?

If you made it this far then you’re ready to complete your registration NOW! Any families who have not registered by June 15th, will be contacted by our Board to ensure you complete your registration. As we mentioned this is not optional, so help us out by taking this important first step.

Thank You & Final Notes

I’d also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to every member of our Booster Board for their time, dedication, and teamwork in bringing this new platform online so quickly. It’s taken a tremendous amount of effort to build, test, design, and learn BoosterHub—and we couldn’t have done it without their commitment and the support of our amazing directors.

We hope you love the new JETBand.org as much as we do!

Welcome to the JET Band and Color Guard Family—we’re ready for an amazing season and looking forward to getting to know you and welcome you to the JET Band and Color Guard family!

See you all in the stands and on the sidelines,

Liz Johnson
