Open Board Positions
Programs like ours do not exist without the help of many volunteers. In addition to volunteer time, we continue to need leaders. We have the following positions that will start in January; however, we would like to have individuals shadow through the end of December.
These openings include:
If one of these positions sounds like they might fit your talents, we would love to discuss the position further with you. Or, if you have an idea for a way that you can serve as a leader, please reach out to our Co-Presidents and they can explain the responsibilities, time commitment, etc. and/or put you in touch with people who currently hold these roles. In addition, our board meets monthly and we would love to invite you to a meeting.
These openings include:
- Truck Committee Member - As a Truck Committee Member, your role is pivotal in ensuring our performances run smoothly. Responsibilities include the upkeep of our two trucks, assisting with driving duties, and managing maintenance visits to the Jeffco depot. Critical to our success, you will also strategize the organization of props and materials, ensuring everything is in its place for every performance. Currently, we're leveraging your expertise to define specifications for the acquisition of a new truck, enhancing our capabilities. Your commitment extends to the evenings before competitions and football games as well as the day of these events, supporting our marching band, winter percussion ensemble, and winter guard seasons. Join us in this vital role and play a part in the seamless execution of our program's events.
- Corporate Memberships - In order to continue to achieve our fundraising goals, we have begun to offer corporate sponsorship opportunities, and are looking for a member to drive this effort forward. If you have a knack for communication or maybe have a lot of connections with businesses in our community, this could be an easy role for you to support our program.
- VP, Percussion - Role starts January, 2025. Responsibilities include organizing parent volunteers, snacks, and transportation during the Spring Winter Percussion season.
- Restaurant Night Coordinator - Role begins in January 2025. Contact restaurants to set up fundraiser nights. Planning includes preparation for three months in advance. Much of this work is done from home and online. 1:1 training will begin once new volunteer is available.

Upcoming Volunteer Information
The Marching Band has been working extremely hard in order to continue its tradition as one of the top bands in the state of Colorado! A large part of that is due to the volunteer support that families and friends provide, and we're asking that you continue that support beginning with the first halftime performance Homecoming Football Game vs. Lakewood on Thursday, August 29th at Jeffco Stadium. We need an army of volunteers for this and any every performance during the season.
All of our volunteer opportunities can be signed up for through CutTime. Access your students account and then go to events. There is a “jump to link” at the top after you click on your students name. Then you scroll down to the event you want to volunteer at and click sign up next to the position that you want to fill. There are a variety of positions (chaperones, truck drivers, moving props, hospitality, etc) that are open and it is very important that these slots are filled to help make the performance run as smoothly as possible.
We all want what's best for our kiddos, so please don't hesitate to contact our Volunteer Coordinator with any questions you may have.
