Help Needed - Sign-Up MSBOA Festival Host

On Tuesday Oct 13 we are hosting 9 Bands for the MSBOA (Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association) District 10 Marching Band Festival.


This is a great opportunity for our Band and our Beautiful Facilities!


There are several jobs which we have already placed volunteers in and are not currently on the list, but our most pressing need is Band Guides.  Because our students are playing at this event they cannot volunteer in this role.  Parents who would be willing to potentially miss our band's performance that night will be needed to help.


Please CLICK HERE if you would like to volunteer for this event!


There will be several more specific opportunities that I will add as the week progresses.
