Buffalo Grove Instrumental Association

The BGIA is made up of all parents/guardians of all current students participating in instrumental music at Buffalo Grove High School.  Its purpose is to promote the education of students at Buffalo Grove High School in the field of Instrumental Music and to aid the band program by encouraging and maintaining an interest in it and supporting it financially.

The BGIA allows the band directors to focus on developing the talent of our students by coordinating activities for the band and by providing additional resources where necessary. We work closely with the band directors, who are also members of the BGIA, to assist them in whatever way possible.

In this day of cut backs and fund decreases, it is essential that we supplement the funds that are allocated to the band budget in order to enhance the educational experience of our students.  The best thing you can do is become active in the BGIA. That doesn’t mean you have to volunteer for everything, but your participation is encouraged and appreciated. It takes an army of volunteers to make things run smoothly for the band and although they won’t admit it, your kids actually like having their parents involved in some band activities!
