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!

We are in need of many parents and student volunteers to help this run smoothly and successfully. The event is scheduled to begin at 2:50 PM and run to approximately 10:00 PM. However, we will need volunteers to help with setup and cleanup, so you can begin as early as 9am 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!!
Please review the list of duties below and then click the button to select a duty and a time frame! For convenience, each duty is listed in short increments.

(Student volunteers can sign up for community service hours by adding their contact information to the sign-up forms posted outside the band and choir rooms.)
Below are the duties the Jamboree typically requires. Note that except for parking, all of these positions are supported by student volunteers. (Lots of them!)
