Concession Shift Signup!
The second biggest fundraiser each year comes from operating concessions. We need parent volunteers to operate these stands so that we can make money to keep band fees low. This is a great way to meet other band parents, and they have a BLAST working together throughout the year.
If you are on financial scholarship, this is a great way to support the band by giving your time.
