Volunteer

There are many ways that you can help the marching band program. Following is a list of opportunities, and more opportunities will be sent to you through the Band App. It takes many individuals to run such a large organization successfully. It’s up to you to select at least one opportunity to help out.

We hold one meeting per month, usually on the first Monday of each month at 6pm. Other meetings are scheduled and announced if necessary. The best way to stay “in the know” is to read the Band App regularly and attend meetings. Questions can be directed to ehs.bb.pres@gmail.com

See the list below for volunteer opportunities and descriptions. This list is not all inclusive. Stay active on the Band App to hear about other opportunities throughout the season! Thank you for supporting your student and our program!
