Current Opportunities
We are currently looking for a couple of band parents to help organize our outdoor concessions operations which is one of our major fundraising opportunities. If you are interested in taking on this role, please reach out to kristin@fairviewbands.org.
It takes a lot of volunteers to support our kids during their competition and performance events. All of our volunteer needs are listed in helpatschools.com. Please look to see how you can help.
Volunteer Form for Band Parent Volunteers/Chaperones: BVSD requires all volunteers serving as chaperones to complete the RAPTOR application online and complete the BVSD Volunteer Agreement. Exception: If you are a BVSD employee, you do not need to complete the Raptor application but you do need to complete the Volunteer agreement report your BVSD employment status to the Volunteer Coordinator.
Please note: There is a $25.00 fee associated with this form that is used to perform a background check. Applications and background checks are valid for one year.
Parent volunteers who are willing to drive students to Winter Programs (e.g., Winter Guard performances and Winter Percussion performances) should submit as soon as possible the following paperwork to the Fairview front office :
Volunteer Agreement (button below)
Student Transportation in a Private Vehicle (button below)
a copy of your insurance policy or other paperwork that indicates the dollar amounts of coverage (proof of insurance cards do not show coverage amounts)

If you have any questions, please contact the Fairview front office. After you have submitted all documents, please email the Volunteer Coordinator to get on the list of BVSD approved band drivers. She will confirm receipt of all documents with Dot.
PLEASE NOTE: Students cannot drive themselves to winter programs, so we’ll need plenty of volunteers to cover the winter performances!!
The FMK program cannot be successful without parental involvement and help. We call ourselves FBBO, the Fairview Band Boosters Organization. Parents are needed for many volunteer opportunities including:

Uniform Committee: Fits students for marching and concert uniforms, makes standard repairs and alterations, and keeps the uniforms clean. This requires 3 to 5 people for instrumentalist uniforms, and 2 to 3 people for the color guard.

During football games, 16-20 people are needed to work the concessions booths at Recht field, Boulder High School (Fairview’s home field). The indoor concession booth at Fairview operates during indoor sports and fine arts events and requires 2-3 parents to staff it per event. The Concessions committee organizes and maintains volunteer lists to cover each event.
