The AMS Band is supported by its band parent organization, the Ashworth Middle School Band Boosters, Inc. This organization involves parents to help fund the activities and events the band takes part in, as well as funding for instrument repairs, purchases, and the purchase of new music.

The director, Mr. Laramie Rodriguez, who also attended Ashworth as a student, is a Gordon Central High School graduate, received his bachelor's degree in Music Education from the Kennesaw State University School of Music and his master's degree in Instrumental Conducting from The American Band College of Sam Houston State University.
