The Stagg Marching Jamboree is the first of three major fundraisers held by the Stagg Music Boosters. Held every September, the Jamboree showcases the finest area high school marching bands performing their competitive marching arrangements. Though it is a performance venue for marching bands, the money raised through the Jamboree benefits the entire Stagg music program: from band to choir to guard!

However, we will need volunteers to help with setup and cleanup, so you can begin as early as noon or stay as late as midnight.
Any amount of time you can spare would be greatly appreciated. There are tasks that require minimal physical effort and can be performed seated as well. There is something for everyone!!
