Be Involved!

Volunteer with the Emerald Brigade

Support our students. Meet other families. Be part of the experience.

Behind every performance are families helping make it happen. Whether you have an hour, a particular skill, or time to coordinate an event, there’s a way to contribute.

New families are welcome—you don’t need a music background or years of band experience to get involved.

Start Here: Help Us Get to Know You

Our Parent Interest & Volunteer Form helps us connect families with opportunities that fit their interests, skills, and availability.

Complete the Parent Interest and Volunteer Form 

Sign Up for a Shift

Watch BAND and the weekly newsletter for current opportunities and SignUp link. Check the Sign up link, then choose something that works with your schedule.

The interest form tells us about you. Event signups reserve your spot for a specific task or shift.

Join a Committee

Another way to contribute is to join a committee. Committee signups help us share the work among more families and build a team people can count on throughout the season. Choose an area that interests you—you don’t have to help at every event to be a valuable part of the team.

Share your committee interests on the form above. Time commitments vary by role and event.

Have Limited Time? Start Small.

A single shift or a specific task is a meaningful contribution. Let us know what works for you: an occasional evening, a weekend event, or a task you can complete from home.

You can also share skills or interests that don’t appear on the list above.

Interested in Helping Coordinate?

If you enjoy organizing, connecting people, or seeing a project through, consider assisting with or coordinating an activity.

• Student and family events:  Bandtastic, senior celebrations, Show Reveal, and awards.

• Performance support:  Football games, shows, concerts, and Honor Band coordination.

• Fundraising and merchandise:  Sponsorships, student selling opportunities, dine-outs, fundraising events, and Brigade merchandise.

These are examples of coordinator roles, rather than a list of current vacancies. Indicate your interests on the form above, including whether you’d like to lead, assist, or shadow a coordinator.

Chaperoning, Driving & District Clearance

District clearance is required to chaperone trips, ride the bus with students, drive students, or tow trailers. Driving students requires an additional transportation clearance process.

To get started:

1. Indicate your interest in these roles on the Parent Interest & Volunteer Form.

2. Follow the instructions provided for the appropriate district paperwork.

3. Confirm that your clearance is approved before serving in a role that requires it.

Completing the interest form does not provide district clearance. Start early so there is time to complete the process before an event.

Questions About Volunteering?

Do I need previous experience?

Many opportunities are a good starting point for new families. Let the organizer know you’re new and ask what the task involves.

Can I volunteer if I work full time?

Yes. Look for evening, weekend, or occasional opportunities that fit your availability. You can also ask about tasks that can be completed from home.

Do I have to volunteer at every event?

No. Choose commitments that work for your family. Help from many families makes the work more manageable for everyone.

What if I can’t make a shift I signed up for?

Notify the event organizer as soon as possible so they can arrange coverage.

Who can help me find the right opportunity?

Email to be connected with the appropriate coordinator.
