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:
Hospitality Co-Chair - Responsible for providing food/drink service for booster-funded meals and snacks. This includes marching band competitions, Concert/Craft Fair concessions, and fundraiser events. Expected responsibilities include planning, preparation, serving, cleanup, financial tracking, and coordinating family donations and volunteer needs.
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.
Webmaster - We're beginning our search for a new webmaster to take on the role of keeping our website updated with the lasted events and communications. If you have experience in updating a website or would like to learn, let us know! We're eager to train a new member in this role.
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.
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.
Upcoming Volunteer Information
Interested in volunteering? Contact Kristine Notter for more 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 at the Homecoming Football Game vs. Greeley West on Friday, September 1st at Jeffco Stadium. We need an army of volunteers for this and any every performance during the season.
We have 2 ways for you to sign up to volunteer. You will receive emails from Kristine Notter with direct links throughout the season to the competitions and football games. The other way to sign up is to log into your Charms account and click on the blue Volunteer box. This will bring you to a drop down menu where you can choose the event you want to sign up for and sign up. 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.
