Marching Band Announcements
Our Fall Scrap Metal Drive is Saturday September 16 from 9am-4pm!
We need Adult and Student volunteers for short shifts throughout the day. All you have to do is unload the scrap and put it in a dumpster! The can crew unloads cans and takes them to the store.
This is a good fundraiser for the band, but we can’t do it without your help.
Please consider signing up for a shift! Click Here to Sign-Up!
Feel free to share the attached flyer as well!

VOLUNTEERS:
If you are going to help..PLEASE actually sign-up. We appreciate it when people just show up to help without their name on the list, but we need to keep track of our volunteers. Please actually put your name on the sign-ups so we can accurately track our volunteer force, and so our directors can sleep and night knowing jobs will be taken care of.
It Takes a lot of help to do what we do. Click Here to volunteer on Friday
JOBS:
Uniforms:
We need help with Uniform Distribution and Collection. Distribution is easy, help them find where they are hung and troubleshoot any issues that come up. Collection after the game involves inspection of parts to make sure they are correctly hanging in their bags for storage. We train for all jobs!
Pit Crew:
This involves moving and setting up front ensemble equipment, props, PA, etc. This is a critical job for volunteers so our students can focus on performing! We have a great dedicated crew who are our regulars, but many hands make light work. Also, because of the nature of this job having a consistent crew of volunteers is very helpful…if you are able to help at all of our performances that would be great.
