PARENT HELP NEEDED!

As I mentioned in the show-off on Thursday, we have several committees that are still in need of parent assistance!  It’s a lot of fun and a great way to get to know the kids, parents and directors of the Trojan Band.

ChaperoneChaperones ride on the buses to and from band events, normally the football games and many contests. There are normally 2 chaperones on a bus and they are responsible for seeing that the students behave properly during the trip and get back on the bus at the end of the event.  If you are interested… even if just for one game, please contact our chaperone chair, David Urban at david@urbanfamily.us

Pit Crew: During Marching Season We have more instruments and Dance Guard equipment to get onto the field (and off again) than we have personnel using it, so we rely heavily on our PIT CREW to help us move on/off the field rapidly both during halftime and contest performances, and to help get equipment loaded and unloaded from the trucks and trailers every time we perform! You DON’T have to be a Percussion Parent to join Pit Crew. Talk to our Pit Crew Committee Chair, and volunteer to work one or more games or contests. If you are interested… even if just for one game, please contact our Pit Crew chair, Duc Tran, at duckytran@yahoo.com

Student CateringFOOD!  Meals need to be provided to our hungry band members at many events, mainly before football games.  This committee arranges for food delivery and distribution to our students.  A GREAT way to meet the band students!  This committee is currently very short on parents signed up – please visit their sign up genius to help out!

Dance Guard: An important part of any band performance is the visual element provided by the Dance Guard.  This committee assists the instructors with all aspects of the Dance Guard section, including helping with Spin Camp in the spring, game preparation/chaperoning and fundraising. How Can I Help the Dance Guard? One way to help is to volunteer with “Fairy Guard Mothers” to chaperone the Dance Guard section during contests and games!  This is a fun volunteer position with a great group of kids!

Please find something that you like and hop on board!  To try one of these committees out – please email Choni Hajibashi.  choni@swbell.net
