It takes a small army of our parent volunteers to help out in the various band related activities all year long. Football season is upon us and we need YOUR help! Concessions, Grills, Equipment, and Chaperone volunteer positions are critical in assisting with the success of the band. Don’t be shy! We have all had that “first time” experience and will show you everything you need to know. Current Volunteer sign-up opportunities can be found by clicking HERE. If you have any general questions, Tina Mellon, our volunteer coordinator, can be reached by email at volunteer@gchsharkband.com. If you have questions about specific volunteer opportunities, committee chairs and event coordinator contact information is available by clicking HERE. THANK YOU!
