WELCOME MARCHING FAMILIES!

Football Game Chaperone SignUpGenius

Marching Ensemble families, help out and get in to the games for free! We need help transporting equipment to/from the field, put out seat covers, guide them from the field to the bleachers after the pre-game show, guide them to and from the field for half-time show, get them water after they perform and help guide them off the bleachers after the game.

Pre-Game Dinner Volunteer SignUpGenius

Marching Ensemble families, can you host a pre-game dinner for the Marching Ensemble? It’s a great tradition to ensure our kids are well fed and prepared for the fun evening ahead! The host family provides the main meal, and other parent volunteers help setup/clean up, drive the students to/from your home and bring salads, desserts, etc to accompany your meal. Its best if you live fairly close to the school.
