How Do I sign up to volunteer?
How Do I sign up to volunteer?
All volunteer opportunities are organized and listed in CutTime, the band organizational app.
If you are a band parent/guardian or student, your phone number and email should be added to CutTime, and once activated, you will get text messages that include events and links to sign up for volunteering.
Below is a description of the various volunteer opportunities. While it is not a requirement to be in Band, we highly encourage all parents/guardians to sign up for at least one opportunity. It's a great way to get to know the kids, the directors and other parents, and it's honestly what makes it possible to give our kids all of the great opportunities they have.
Below is a guide on how to use CutTime text messages to sign up for volunteer opportunities. Click the arrow in the upper right corner to Pop Out and open in another tab. You can also see a video of this process below.

Loading/Pit Crew
Loading/Pit Crew
The Pit Crew is made up of dedicated parents that do not mind helping move and set up Props and Front Ensemble equipment. Since we only have a short amount of time to get on and off the field for games and contests, we need as many hands as possible to assist our students with their equipment. The Loading Crew consists of parents who want to help supervise the loading and unloading of our truck as well. The Loading Crew is usually made up of the same set of parents as the Pit Crew. These parents will be required to organize the equipment trucks and start the loading and unloading process for away games.
Chaperone (Game Day & Concerts)/Meals
Chaperone (Game Day & Concerts)/Meals
Seeking highly motivated parents that are willing to ride and travel on the bus, so they can have an experience of a lifetime to engage with students and build relationships. Parent support is needed at all of our events, especially at football games and marching contests. We need help making sure the students stay hydrated, passing out food before games, and monitoring the students in the stands. These are just a few of the many jobs we need help with on game nights and on contest days. Chaperones will be required to ride the bus with the students and the directors for away games, so that we may keep an eye on the students during travel time to and from events.
Uniforms/Marching Attire
Uniforms/Marching Attire
It takes many hands to keep our kids looking good. On game and contest days, volunteers are needed in the uniform room before and after games, and are on hand at games and contests to make sure the band looks as perfect as possible. They also take care of the concert band attire. It’s a great way to get to know the kids!
Please meet in the Band Hall between 6:00-6:15. We will walk with the students to the stadium and sit/stand with them throughout the game and performance. More details to follow.
