Volunteering!

Our goal is to take care of our student’s odds and ends so the directors can concentrate on directing and having our students perform their best!  We are always looking for volunteers to help at band camp, with uniforms, at festivals, with pizza parties, etc. If you would like to volunteer, first you need to complete a background check.  This is as easy as going to the high school office, fill it out and hand it back in.   It will only take a couple of minutes to fill out while you are in the office. If you can’t help with marching band, but think you may be able to help with festival or a band concert, fill one out now so you don’t have to worry about getting it done at the last minute.*  The high school office is currently open. The background checks are free and a mandatory school policy that need to be completed every year. We will be checking to see if they are completed a week before an event. *Note:  Starting spring of 2019, you will need to complete your background check at the end of May.  This will cover the summer of 2019 through the 2019/2020 school year.

“How can I help?”  

We ask that every family help with either a time, talent or treasure.  TIme: If you have extra time on your hands, we can always use it to help chaperone, fit uniforms, etc.  Talent: We all have talents that we can use. Can you sew, build or fix equipment? Throughout the year, we may be asking for a talent that you can provide!  Treasure: We understand that families are busy and maybe your talent hasn’t been asked for yet, but you still want to help in some way. We also have a need for cash donations throughout the year.   This would help families that need a little extra assistance or help purchase pizza for the students before a football game. Any help from each family would be appreciated greatly!!

“Where do I sign up?”

For easy and quick assess, there will be one Coopersville Bands Volunteer website that you can keep returning to throughout the year to see what is available.  You can bookmark it to your web browser. Please visit it frequently because it will be updated throughout the year. We will also send it out week(s) prior to an event to help remind you.  If you don’t have the time to volunteer, great news…we also need donations! Check it out today!
