EnsemblesThe Pioneer Bands and PBA will host the District XII Band Festival at Pioneer High School at Schreiber Auditorium on Saturday, March 3, 2012, and we need you to help make this event a success. We have over 50 volunteer positions to be filled. There are spaces for everyone to be part of the event, whether you like to help at concessions, donate prepared food for the judges or loan us items to use. Shifts at the school are typically two hours, but there are even spots to help if you are going to be unavailable that day!

Volunteer Opportunities

We'd like to ask the PBA parents (Varsity, Concert and Symphony) to volunteer to help run the concession stand in the cafeteria during Festival, and sell items generously donated by the Concert and Symphony Band families. We also sell pizza, donuts, snacks, and hot drinks. The profit will go to benefit Pioneer Band activities.

We ask Varsity Band parents and students to participate by contributing their time at the concession stand and keeping all the participants happy! We especially need the help of Varsity parents at the time of the Concert and Symphony Bandsʼ performance. In addition to running the concession stand, we serve a light breakfast and lunch to judges and directors, so we also need soup donations.

PLEASE NOTE: If you're volunteering as a Concert or Symphony Band parent, please be sure to choose a shift that will not conflict with the performance time of your student!

To volunteer (It's really easy, and we really do need your help!):

  1. Visit the Band Festival Volunteer Spreadsheet
  2. There are five tabs at the bottom of the sheet. Choose the tab that matches your interest.
  3. Look to the right side: the Concert Band and Symphony Band schedule is there so that you do not volunteer when your child is playing.
  4. Fill in your name and email address.
  5. Click save and you are done!

Donations

The donation of snacks and drinks from Concert and Symphony band families will be assigned by instrumental sections. We generally ask for donations of items such as water, pops, sweet and salty snacks (cookies, chips, etc.), and this time we will also be accepting money donations ($ 10) in lieu of snacks and drinks from the families who prefer to do so. It will help minimize the cost of pizza, donuts and other items we purchase in order to run the concession. Details about food or money donations will be e-mailed and/or be sent home with Concert and Symphony students soon.

Let's make this event a very special, successful and fun day! We'll be counting on your support and we'd like to thank in advance all the great helping hands of PBA parents!

If you have any questions about Band Festival Concessions, please feel free to contact one of our Band Festival Committee members.

Thank you!
