The CHS Band is always looking for volunteers to help out in the
dozens of opportunities to support our band activities. The CHS Band
Boosters is a free, all-volunteer, organization dedicated to supporting
our students in their band activities. We are always looking for volunteers
for everything from bus chaparones on band trips to serving potatoes and coffee
at home games to fitting uniforms to helping with fundraisers, etc., etc., etc.
You can make a big difference by giving just a small amount of your time to
one of these or many other activities supported by the CHS Band Boosters.
Parents,
grandparents, family members and friends can help out behind the
scenes and/or at events. With each person helping, the amount of work any
one person needs to do is reduced and makes the experience enjoyable for
all. Volunteering also is a way to find out more about Marching Band from
a
parent's perspective from other parents! You also get the opportunity to
meet our band kids and find out just how hard they work to put on an awesome
performance each year!
If you have any questions,
or just want to sign up, please join us at the next Band Boosters meeting, or contact the Volunteer Chair listed on the Contacts page.
