Band Boosters

If you are interested in helping or learning more about what any of these roles entail, please fill out the google form here and let us know what you are interested in helping with.  We will contact you with glee!

Pit Crew: The team of parent volunteers who help bring the pit/front ensemble instruments and equipment such as speakers, generator, and drum major podiums into place on the sidelines for each halftime performance and marching competition. 10 to 15 volunteers are needed for each game and marching competition. This is a fun group and training is provided!

Chaperones: Travel to and from each game and competition on the busses with the band. Duties include taking roll and managing meals/snacks for your assigned bus, sitting with the band in the stands and helping distribute hats and plumes before the half-time show.

Field Prop Crew: Sometimes the marching show includes large props that need to be placed on the field as the band sets up the show. Often Chaperones and/or Pit Crew members help with this task.

Event Planning: There are many opportunities to help us plan summer band treats, holiday parties, banquets and more.

Sponsorship and Fundrasing: Are you outgoing? Connected in the community? Own or manage a business?  We are always looking for boosters who can help us canvas businesses, make phone calls to write emails to get the word out about our sponsorship and fundraising activities.  

Flag Delivery/Pick-up: Help with our Flag subscription service for patriotic holidays throughout the year. Students and/or Parents place a 3’ x 5’ American Flag in subscribers yards and pick them up after the holiday.  We need volunteers with vehicles capable of carrying a 9 foot flag. Trucks, Minivans, small SUV's and even some sedans with folding seats will work.

Prop Build Crew: Help build and create props for the marching show.  No experience with tools or building necessary, but if you have these skills we do need you!

Uniform Fitting: We will have a fitting day in August for the whole band.  Sewing expertise not required, but if you can sew and have a machine we need you.

Truck Driving:  Class A CDL drivers needed! We have about 20 events a year that require us to bring our equipment trailer. The more volunteer drivers we have, the better. If you don't have a Class A license and would like to help, the process of getting a CDL is free, it just requires passing a written test and then a driving test.

We manage our volunteer communication and sign up using BoosterHub. Please register for your account here.  BoosterHub is a desktop website and also has an app for you to download to your phone.

Before you are cleared to volunteer for the band, GISD requires you go here to submit your once-yearly background check.  Once you get results (within a day usually) forward your confirmation email to evpbvolunteer@gmail.com. GISD Employees are exempt from this requirement.
