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 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 Kristine Notter (Volunteer Coordinator and Chaperone Chair) with any questions you may have whether it be by email, text or phone call.
