PARENT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
We have many ways for parents to get involved this season. We are looking for help during Rehearsals and Camps as well as all football games and local competitions.
We need parents to help with the Red Gate, and Student Wellness each time we have a Rehearsal or Camp.
You must be on the Parent Band App to access the following links
Football parking is a big fund raiser for our Marching Band. We will need parents to help collect money during the first half of the game. All parking volunteers get entry to the game for free and will be in the stadium to see the half time show.
We need parents to help monitor the kids in the stands and during warm ups. These parents will also report early to help with any thing students need as they prepare to get ready for the game.
We need parents to travel to local competitions with us. You will help monitor student wellness, move equipment and be there for anything else the students need. Competition chaperones must ride the bus with the team.
