What is a Storm Trooper?
Storm Troopers are our amazing boosters who keep the Sound of the Storm Marching Band running smoothly. They design and build props, move equipment and instruments, drive box trucks on competition days, and set up lights for evening practices. They help with meals, fit uniforms, and support events like the Fuquay-Varina Holiday Parade by walking with the band and handing out candy. Simply put, Storm Troopers handle the behind-the-scenes work so our students can shine on the field.
Be sure you have the BAND app and are a member of the Storm Troopers - WSHS Marching Band Support group to keep up-to-date on the latest happenings.
If interested in leading in an area, reach out to Jay Cole (jaycole623@gmail.com), WSHS Band Booster President.
If you have any questions, reach out to the lead for that area.
