Parents, we need your help!

Please sign up!

Hello parents! We still have a lot of volunteer spots open for this Friday night in concessions.

Concessions is very important to the success of our program and is an area that can't be successful without our volunteers! It takes a lot of hands to work concessions. It's actually fun once you get the hang of it! Currently we only have 8 people signed up. We need a minimum of 24 people every home game to run concessions.

Please consider signing up in any of the open spots below for this Friday. Thank you! All signups are below or can be found on the band website here.

Home game concessions

Want to be a part of our largest fundraiser? Here's how! We run the visitor side concession stand during home games. This is our big money maker and we need a lot of parents to help. Sign up here.
