PARENT UPDATES - We are looking for help with a variety of items throughout the season from the parent side. A large part of the success of the organization does depend on your involvement!
- Below is a list of items that we know we will need help with.
- You can use THIS form to let us know what you're interested in - or contact Mr. McAdams for more information.
- Flag Construction: Includes cutting of pieces, sewing, etc.
- No experience necessary - we can teach you everything you need to know!
- Event Chaperones: 1-2 parents per show.
- Responsibilities include riding with the group to/from shows, assisting with hair/makeup prior to the show, and helping get equipment on/off the floor.
- Can be a "mom" or a "dad"!
- Home Show Assistance:
- We run our annual home show on March 31st, 2012. On average, we have 40-50 groups all performing at DBHS that day.
- Assistance will be needed in ALL aspects of the production!
- Wildwood:
- In the past, we have used a bus to get the guard to/from Wildwood, NJ. To help save on some costs for the championship trip, we are looking for assistance in carpooling the guard to the show.
- You can either just do the drive down (evening of Thursday May 3rd), the drive up (afternoon of Sunday May 6th), or both.
- You will be reimbursed for the cost of gas.
- We are also looking for 2-3 parent chaperones for the trip.
- Costs are TBA (based on what happens with transportation).
- A "Guard Parent Coordinator".
- Someone that can help coordinate all of the above with the director.
- Any parents who are interested in working with the color guard this year will have to take care of volunteer clearances through the district, if you have not already done so. This is a 5 minute process that is done at the district office.
