Good Day Band Supporters, we need your help to make the games a success. Please sign up for the Friday, October 6th game. 

We are looking for a couple Middle School parents to help run the swag table during the game so those parents with High School kids in the band don’t have to miss their kids playing before the
game and at half time. 

**If you want to volunteer your time this season, you MUST complete a background check. You can do this at the Administration Office. Office hours are Monday – Thursdays 8am – 2pm. 

Please sign up below.
