Band Committees

Parents who volunteer 25 hours of their time to the band receive $250 off of their dues. Joining a band committee is a great way to connect with other band parents and get those volunteer hours.

Also, all of these committees need a chair! If you are interested in chairing one of these committees, please reach out to us. 

Meal Committee

Before every football game, during all day rehearsals on Saturdays, during band camp weeks, and for most competitions, the band boosters provides a meal for the students to help them get through the day. Parents on the meal committee prep and serve meals to the students. You may also be asked to help prep a meal for the band and serve a meal at competition.

Concessions Committee

As you can imagine, there is a LOT that goes into planning and running concessions for football and basketball season. The band is lucky to have this job. To keep things running smoothly, we need a team of parent volunteers. Joining the concessions committee does NOT mean you have to be at every single football or basketball game. 

Fundraising Committee

The fundraising committee assists the Fundraising Chair of the student fundraising campaigns including planning of fundraisers, processing orders, distributing products. The committee will also help plan fundraising events to raise funds for the Band Booster Club. 

Uniform/Laundry Committee

Our band receives new uniforms each season. That means taking measurements, making adjustments, and keeping up with band shoes. The committee assists with handing out uniforms before games and competitions. The uniform committee will also typically have some parents who will also volunteer to take home uniforms after games/competitions to wash. Washing instructions are always provided and washing is divvied out so most households are only doing 1 load. 

1 load of laundry = 1 hour of volunteer time. 

Chaperone Committee

Just like any other school outing, the band requires parent chaperones at all events including football games, competitions, and other places the band may travel to as a group. Chaperones must be Raptor approved through the school district. You can information on how to gain approval on the band website.

Chaperones provide supervision to students during games, bus rides, and overnight trips. Ensure the safety and well-being of students while preparing for games, in stadium stands, and/or while traveling.

Prop Construction

The band uses new props each season. If you're creative, good at construction, and have some tools, this is the committee for you. The instructors have the vision, and you help make it a reality. Maintaining props throughout the marching season will also be needed.

Tote-n-Tow

At each game and competition, the band needs extra hands to help to push instruments, speakers, and props onto the field. For away games and competitions, help may also be needed for loading trailers. We also rely on parent volunteers to tow our trailer to games/competitions.

Event Planning/Hospitality Committee

If you love throwing a party, this is the committee for you. We do not call on our hospitality team super often, but when we do, it's for something big and fun. Our main events for our hospitality team are the end of the season party after marching season (early November), hospitality room at the Golden Bear Bash (January), and the end of the year party (May). Other small events may pop up during the school year. The main goal of the hospitality team is to plan, decorate, and organize food (typically potluck style) for the events.
