Many, many thanks to all the parents who have volunteered their time so far this season to help out the band! From the chaperones who are at the students' sides, pluming, passing out water, making emergency uniform repairs, and generally supporting the them; Trailer Crew who built the props, load equipment each game and lug it all onto the field and off again; and Concessions volunteers who feed the masses and bring in the cash to make it all possible - We really couldn't put on a show each week without you! Here is a small tribute to our parent volunteers.

TRAILER CREW and CONCESSIONS VOLUNTEERS
NEEDED FOR THIS WEEKEND
We are expecting a large crowd for Homecoming, so if you haven't had a chance to help out at an event for the band this year, please consider signing up to volunteer on Saturday. Volunteers get into games for FREE, and it's a great way to meet other band parents and support the kids. Remember that all families are REQUIRED to sign up for at least 2 volunteer slots during the season.
Visit the Season Signup Genius to volunteer.
NEW PROCEDURE THIS YEAR:
All volunteers please sign in at your stations (Chaperones, Concessions, Trailer Crew) so that you can get credit for your time.
ATTENTION: HOME GAME VOLUNTEERS
Please remember to pick up a field pass prior to entering the gate and signing in. Badges are for volunteer use only and must be turned in before you leave. As always, thank you for helping out!
Pass locations for each area are as follows:
Chaperones: uniform room, small gray cabinet
Trailer Crew: large band trailer
Concessions: white cabinet in band room near the door
(where the band box is)
If you have questions about volunteering, please contact:
Cyndee Van Siclen, Chaperone Coordinator
Christa Afflerbach or Heather Blady, Concessions Co-Chairs
Mike DeRosier, Equipment Crew Chair
All volunteers are required to obtain state-mandated clearances. For information on how to obtain clearances, click here.
