How To Become A Volunteer
So you think you want to be a volunteer…. It’s a great way to stay involved with your students; get to know your students’ friends; and meet new friends yourself!! We call those friends our BBFs (Best Band Friends!)
If you have been volunteering with the Band – Welcome to another Year!
We need volunteers to help in the following areas: Chaperones Concessions and Grills Equipment (Loading and unloading the trailers) Fundraising Uniforms (sewing is just a part of it!) And lots of little things that come up during the year! You can help a little – or you can help a LOT! We need you! You know the saying “It takes a village . . . “? – well in our case – it takes a small metropolis!!
To ensure safety for all students, please follow the directions below to become an Approved Volunteer or Renew your volunteer status. You must be a Duval County approved volunteer in order to chaperone, volunteer or visit your child’s classroom and even to eat lunch with your child.
