How Can I Help?

Volunteers are needed throughout the year and fill many needs:

– Moving Equipment
– Fixing Equipment
– Maintaining Uniforms
– Chaperoning Students
– Serving Food
– Audio & Video Recording
– And Everything in between!

Marching band can be a rather large undertaking and requires the most amount of volunteer support. The remainder of the year the needs tend to be less, but we will still need your help!

When volunteer opportunities come up, an official volunteer signup request will be sent out via Cuttime. Specific jobs will be listed so you can sign up wherever you feel you can be the most help.

Please make sure you are signed up for Cuttime and Slack as these are the primary methods of communications for the program.

Cuttime
