We are currently looking for volunteers
to help with the Cow Pie Blues Festival August
8-9. We will have a food booth and serve breakfast and
lunch! Kids and
Parents are both welcome!
Please help us out if you are able!
Please email us at chsbands@hotmail.com
The success of our band depends
greatly on our volunteers. We would love for you to share your
skills with our kids!
-Do you love teenagers and being a
positive role model? Join us on our buses to competitions and trips,
or at camp, as a chaperone!
-Do you have an artistic flair? We
could use you in our publicity area, designing invitations and signs
or decorating for events.
-Do like to host and plan events?
We need hosts and planners for our auction, trips, competitions, and
other fun events.
-Do you like to cook or plan
meals? We need you to help feed our kids before games and parades!
-Do
you have a knack for sewing? Our Color Guard has uniforms and flags
to sew. Our uniform group would love to be able to provide
alterations for our band members!
Home football

Leader:
Check with Director ahead of time to see what needs to happen. Make
sure the following things get done. Attend the game to make sure
things go smoothly.
Water person
Get the 2 yellow water containers from the band room and fill
halfway with ice from the kitchen (look for a maintenance person to
let you in) or buy 2 bags of ice. Finish filling the container with water at the
concession stand. Put one on each end of the stands in band
section. Make sure the yellow container of cups comes over on the
pit cart. When the weather is cold, you could have hot cider or
cocoa. Turn in receipts to treasurer for reimbursement. Afterward,
the containers need to be washed out and left to air dry.
Homecoming game security team:
At the homecoming game, put up a rope (from band room) around band
section. Have about six to eight people standing around the edges of
band section for the entire game including before the game and at
halftime to keep other kids out and to keep people from cutting
through and knocking down instruments when band isn’t there. The
homecoming game is very rowdy. Consider making a pathway through the
band section for public to cut across.
Food committee:
Check with Director a week before each game to see if food is
needed. Food has been provided for the band if they are required to
attend a band event at mealtime. This policy depends on the budget.
In the past, either pizza is ordered or sandwiches made and pop
purchased at a cost of about $200. Volunteers have also provided
cookies or brownies. Don’t forget about cleanup. Turn in receipts to
treasurer for reimbursement.
Note: Food is typically not served
for a normal home game except possibly homecoming. At homecoming,
Students have to be around very early to practice, march in the
parade, and march in the game.
