Donations - Money, Items, Time

2026-27 School Year

Thank you for taking the time to review our list for this year.  Your overwhelming support helps us reach two goals:  

1)  Families will become much more used to spending their free time supporting the band, and

2) this kind of help is what students need on their journey towards artistry. 

Please contact the office at your child’s school to donate money. 

Key Volunteer Roles

• Photographers and Videographers:  Document our performances by capturing moments through photographs and videos!  Volunteers are asked to submit their photos by E-mail and videos through either Google Docs, YouTube links or iCloud.   

 

• Concert Setup Crew:  Volunteers are asked to help set up chairs, stands, instruments and music stands, as well as taking them down at the end of the performance.  Our goal is to have everything back into the rehearsal room after the concert is over and prepared for class the next day.  Volunteers will be working with student section leaders and others assigned to this role.  A typical timeframe for this role is 3:15 PM - 5:00 PM, and after the concert is over around 7:30 PM.

 

• Snack and water donations:  We like to have water bottles at the students' feet for every sit-down concert band performance.  This typically involves a volunteer bringing roughly 80-100 bottles of water.  Snacks are primarily donated if we participate in June's Junior Rose Parade.  

 

• Parade Crews:  We will assemble parade crews if we participate in the parade this year. 

 

• Guest lesson teachers:  There are likely adults out there who have experience playing an instrument.  We appreciate anyone who is willing to work with a small group of students at school to help them on their path towards artistry.   Volunteers may also be asked to help document/record sessions that can be used to give student feedback on their class progress.
