To determine how many parents can be expected to participate in 2013, we can look for a pattern in the increase of parents' participation over the years.

From 2010 to 2011, the number of parents increased by 40% (from 25 to 40), and from 2011 to 2012, the number increased by 37.5% (from 40 to 55).

To find the expected number of parents in 2013, we can apply the same rate of increase to the previous year's total.

From 2011 to 2012, the 37.5% increase can be represented as 1 + (37.5/100) = 1.375.

Using this increase rate, we can calculate the estimated number of parents in 2013:

55 (number of parents in 2012) * 1.375 ≈ 75.63.

Therefore, based on the pattern in the growth rate, we can expect around 76 parents to participate in the band booster organization in 2013.
