BECOME A VOLUNTEER!

Our Program relies heavily on parent involvement.  We encourage you to support the students by getting involved and assisting with the growth of the program. This allows the students to participate in events like football games, marching band competitions, FFCC championships, MPA, and more!

Volunteer Needs: 

• Chaperones (Football Games, Competitions, FFCC Championships, MPA’s, any trip the band may take.)
• Prop Assistants (Help create, assemble, and push the props on the field.)
• Concessions and Other Fundraiser (Help run the concessions this season or help maintain and assist with our fundraisers.)
• Trailer Puller (Help pull 1 of our 2 band trailers. This allows the equipment, props, and most importantly the instruments to arrive at events)
  • You will need a vehicle that has the proper hookups and equipment to pull a trailer. 
  • Your vehicle will need to pass a inspection prior to pulling the trailer. 
• Volunteer (It takes a village and you can volunteer to help make dinners prior to football games or competitions, bring water to students at any of the events, or assist with the boosters and Mr. Bonelli)
