Volunteer

Students can earn fundraising credit by volunteering at band and choir concerts.  For each 40-minute shift completed, a donation will be added to your Panther Points account, which can be used toward trips and music-related expenses.

Important Guidelines

• Please sign up for a concert where you are not performing
  Example: If you are in Symphonic Band, choose Jazz, Varsity, Choir, or Middle School concerts

• Be engaged, welcoming, and respectful to all guests

• Cell phone use is not allowed during your shift

A Booster Board member will collect materials at the end of your shift.

How to Sign Up
Select a concert date and available shift using the SignUp Genius link. Spots are limited, so sign up early!

Concert Supervisors play a key part in helping our performances run smoothly. You’ll assist the student volunteers who work at the donation tables, making sure they have everything they need and that both entrances are supervised.

What You’ll Do

• Arrive 40 min prior to concert start to assist with setup.

• Pick up signs, cash box, and materials (provided by the Executive Board or committee members).

• Get printed programs from the directors.

• Meet student volunteers at the donation table, help them get organized, and supervise as needed.

• If there are enough volunteers, place students at both entrances and ensure the doors are unlocked.

• If possible, help count donations at the end (two adults required; students may assist).

End-of-Concert Tasks

• At the start of the performance, collect the donation box and signs (leave programs available at the tables).

• After the concert, return the money and materials to the safe.
