Looking for a way to be involved in the band? There are lots of great opportunities to help out. Volunteer openings are posted on SignUp Genius.
If you have a child in any band at Utica High School (including Marching Band) then you are automatically a UHS Band Booster! All Boosters are encouraged to help out. Volunteering to help the band is a very rewarding experience. Please come to the Band Booster Meetings to learn more. See the Band's Calendar for exact dates/times of Booster Meetings.
We've found a successful approach to handling fundraisers and events is to have a chairperson with a support team to assist. This allows people an opportunity to sign up for an activity that fits best with their personal schedule/calendar without having to commit to a long term gig.
In addition, there are board positions that are elected annually at the April Booster Meeting. Board positions are for one year from June 1 to June 1. To learn more about the band booster board please see the Bylaws.
If you will be volunteering in any band/student activity, you must fill out and submit a UCS Volunteer Criminal History Check Form. Copy with band/File with the UHS Office.
