The Watkins Band Boosters is the booster organization associated with Watkins Memorial High School in Pataskala, Ohio. We are an outer suburb of Columbus, Ohio and are a growing rural community! We are so proud to announce that our WMHS Band and Choir has accepted an invitation to participate in the London New Year's Day Parade, January 1st, 2026! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for our students and staff. It’s bigger than the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, with over 400 million television viewers and over 1.5 million spectators watching our marching Warriors. Plus, the Watkins Memorial Choir will be singing at the International Choir Festival in London that week! Here’s the reality: We know that there are many kinds of families in Pataskala - some who can afford this trip and some that just can’t. The Band Boosters want to make sure that this trip is feasible for EVERY student. Traveling abroad can open up a whole new world of possibilities and the Boosters want to make sure that every student can attend, regardless of their home financial situation. We have an extremely lofty goal of raising $250,000 to cover half of the 110+ band & choir students and chaperone costs, as well as cover the entire cost for students who qualify for a scholarship. Our organization is a 501(c)(3) organization so any donations are tax-deductible. We know that we have to reach beyond the town limits of Pataskala in order to reach our goal and we hope that being able to be on a Podcast of some kind could really help our efforts. Thank you so much for considering us!
