Volunteer: Chaperones for Friday Away Game
This Friday night we will need chaperones to ride the bus to and from the game. Chaperones will assist with student supervision, equipment and duties as assigned. Here is the link to sign-up for Friday night's game as a chaperone. https://www.charmsoffice.com/charms/volunteerR.asp?s=lakehsb&v=5786188
As a reminder, chaperones will need to have PCSB volunteer approval or in the process of becoming approved. https://polkschoolsfl.com/getinvolved/
Finance:
The Booster Treasurer will be in the band room for the second half of band rehearsals Tuesday and Thursday in case parents have questions or want to make payments. We will also be selling 100 years of Dreadnaught Band magnets for $5 each.
Concessions volunteering
Please consider working concessions during one of the upcoming home games in October. For Homecoming the band marches after the game so everyone who volunteers will get to see them perform. It takes close to 12-14 people to run the stand and we have fun!
Concessions make most of the money we need to operate the band annually and is an easy way for us to make money, but we can't do it without parents' involvement.
Sign up for concessions
