Parent Support & Volunteer Opportunities

The "band parents" are invaluable to the success of our band program. We rely on your help... from handing out water at football games, to chaperoning and driving trucks to completions. Our parents are the "unsung heros" that make or break the kids' musical experience. ​

Communication Among Volunteers
Volunteers communicate in multiple ways throughout the season. All parents will receive email notifications but for time sensitive communication we use text messages for general communication. The "Text Remind Group" is sent to all subscribed parents general info like bus arrival times after games or results. When you join a sub-group, like Pit Crew or Uniform Committee, you will often communicate with team members in smaller text groups created by team leaders. 

Band "Text Remind Group" - to join, email Alex Rector or Becky Sherlock.
