Chaperones

Current Chairpeople: Cheryl Worobetz & Kristen Hyde - chaperones@ojrbandmpo.com

Have you ever wondered what goes on during the bus rides to games and shows? Do you want a front row seat to the show AND a backstage pass to be with THE BAND? Then being a chaperone is the job for you! Chaperone volunteers provide reliable adult supervision during football games, band shows, cavalcades, and parades. We assist with student equipment, uniforms, and props: move the band through the crowds, and provide assistance in the event of a medical incident. You're already going to the games and shows anyway, come experience it with the band! We can almost guarantee it will be the coolest and most fun volunteer job you've ever had! See below for more information...
