Supporting the arts at Los Altos High School
The Performing Arts Boosters (PAB) is a parent-led nonprofit that supports every performing arts student at Los Altos High School. We fund the staff, equipment, travel, and experiences that the school budget alone can’t cover — across Marching Band & Color Guard, Band, Orchestra, Choir, and Drama.
We’re a 501(c)(3) charitable organization run entirely by volunteers. Every dollar we raise goes directly back to the programs and the students.
Get involved
There’s a place for every parent, whether you have an hour a season or want to take on a bigger role.
- Give. Our Back-to-School donation campaign is how we fund the year. Gifts of any size are tax-deductible. Donate to your program »
- Join your program’s Google Group. It’s where schedules, volunteer sign-ups, and program news are shared.
- Come to a meeting. The Boosters meet monthly on Zoom — open to all parents. It’s the best way to hear what’s happening and lend a hand. This year’s dates are below.
- Volunteer. From concert refreshments to driving equipment trucks to building sets, our programs run on parent help.
Boosters meetings
All meetings are on Tuesdays at 7:00 PM on Zoom, and every parent is welcome. This year’s meetings are Sep 1, Sep 29, Oct 27, Dec 1, Feb 9, Apr 13, and May 25. The Zoom link is shared through the program Google Groups.

The Fall Festival
Each fall, Los Altos High School hosts the Fall Festival, a community event with performances from across the department. The Boosters pitch in to support it — as we do for concerts and shows throughout the year — and it’s a great first taste of everything our students do.
This year’s Fall Festival is Saturday, October 31, 2026, from 12:30 to 4:00 PM at Los Altos High School. Every ensemble performs — Marching Band & Color Guard, the bands and orchestras, Choir, and Drama — and there’s a bake sale alongside the performances. Exact performance times are coming soon.
