Things Parents Can Do to Get Involved (and have fun doing it!)
All of the following committees are looking for people to help. Each has a chairperson selected by the Band Booster Executive Board. All parents are encouraged to sign up for membership on one or more of these committees.
Contact Kara Harris or any current board member to volunteer for any of these activities.
PIT CREW
The pit crew is a group of parents that assists the Marching Band and Color Guard during marching season. Pit crew members sign up to work various football games helping to move band equipment (tubas, drums, directors' podiums, etc.) and help the color guard with their equipment. This group will also oversee the minor care and repairs of the band instruments and large equipment. This group is perfect for the “handymen” in our organization!!
Pit crew transports equipment by truck or van to home games, away games and special band events such as competitions and county band night.
SPIRIT WEAR SALES
The Boosters sell lots of different shirts, shorts, jackets and other Skyhawk goodies to promote band spirit and school spirit. We need volunteers at football games and some other band events to staff the table and sell items.
CHAPERONES
Trip chaperones are an integral part of each marching band performance. Chaperones perform a multitude of tasks, from assisting band members preparing for performance, to riding band busses to away events, to guarding instruments during halftime and 3rd quarter, to being a “mom” or “dad” when needed. Chaperones provide a needed service to the band and are considered a valuable asset to our program.
CONCERT PROGRAMS
This committee solicits sponsors who purchase advertisements in the program given out at all concerts. The program also contains information about the band and is of great interest to those attending the concerts.
UNIFORM COMMITTEE
This committee is in charge of the Band and Color Guard uniforms, the issuing and fitting of students, assisting with the alterations as needed, general care of the uniforms, and assisting the students with any uniform problems.
HOSPITALITY - Help organize dinners and banquets
