VOLUNTEERS

Our program cannot run without the support of our families. Please consider giving your time and resources to help! We have many different needs that can fit into your schedule. Watch for iVolunteer sign-ups throughout the year. They will be shared in weekly newsletters and offer many ways you can support the band with your time or donations.

Examples of types of volunteer assistance needed throughout the year.

• Uniform washing – wash and iron 10 pairs of Symphonic Band (Marching) pants, hang and return.

• Uniform fitting – help with measuring and snapping hems for Symphonic Band (Marching) uniforms. No experience necessary and no sewing involved. Done during zero and first periods only.

• Fundraiser support – sort and distribute fundraiser items. Usually late in school day and right after school.

• Chaperone concerts/assemblies – help students get into uniforms and monitor return of uniforms.

• Parade support – preparation: inventory supplies, purchase supplies as needed (to be reimbursed); event days: help with uniforms, helmets, hems at school as we get ready; chaperones ride the bus with students to the parade and assist before, during and after the parades they return back to school.
