Volunteer Opportunity Descriptions

The Marching Band relies on volunteer support to ensure a wonderful student experience. Volunteering is a great way to meet other families, have fun, and support this special high school experience. 

Please consider volunteering at 3 events - many hands make light work!

• Volunteers will help size and fit the band students into appropriate-sized uniforms to maintain a consistent look across the band.
