What is a Storm Trooper or Snow Trooper?
Storm Troopers and Snow Troopers are our amazing boosters who keep the Sound of the Storm Marching Band and the Willow Spring Indoor Percussion (WSIP) 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.
Be sure you have the BAND app and are a member of the Storm Troopers - Sound of the Storm Marching Band and/or the Snow Troopers - Willow Spring Indoor Percussion to keep up-to-date on the latest happenings.
