Sign-up Genius: Please click here to sign up for a volunteer spot if you haven’t done so already! Thank you.

Volunteer Sign-In will be located at a table near the band room door. Volunteers will get their hand stamped to allow free entry into the stadium. During music class this week, non-marchers will have an opportunity to sign up to help.

Student Volunteers: There is a list of jobs for the student volunteers – jobs such as band guides, parking and clean-up. I will need all of your help to keep them on track. If you see them wander, get them to work!

2018 Tickets: $10 – adults, $7 – students, children 5 years and under, Free. Credit cards will be accepted for tickets and concessions. Tickets and concessions volunteers will use the Square App on their device. If you sign up to volunteer and did not receive that information, let Sarah know! You need a compatible device and a data plan because the Wi-Fi from the school will not reach out to the field. A larger device is preferable.

We will have a list of the different hand stamps/wristbands available to ticket sale volunteers and those checking the gate so there will be no confusion on competition day regarding guest admission.

Set up/Marcher Info: Students & parents will report at 10am to begin set up. Set up will continue until around 3pm or until everything is ready to go. I will have more info regarding the marchers’ schedule closer to the date.

Bake Sale: We are asking for donations for the bake sale. Pre-package/wrap your contribution for a $1 re-sale and drop off Friday during band practice (4pm-8pm) or Saturday morning. Label “Bake Sale”.
