Get Plugged in: Other Volunteers

The band program is made successful by the help of volunteers in many areas ranging from chaperoning to working concessions. The Band Boosters also offer many positions to serve the students and support the band directors and programs. If you are not already a member, consider getting plugged in with the Boosters where you'll not only help the students and programs, but where you'll also make some wonderful friends.

Awards Night

Organize and plan Awards Night for students, parents, school officials, and local dignitaries as appropriate. Certificates and awards are given to students, senior favors for the graduating seniors. Finger foods and a program are planned in coordination with the band directors. Volunteers are needed for planning, decorating, set-up etc.

Chaperones

Each out-of-town event requires chaperones (4 per bus on average). There is a chaperone bag available for each bus. Each week it is stocked with necessities such as extra gloves, Band-Aids, flashlight, safety pins, etc. Each bag is checked and replenished before each trip. Chaperones are responsible for keeping the band safe and helping them with essentials such as restroom stops.

Concessions

All band parents are asked to help with concessions for at least one home game and Heart of Dixie. It's a fun time and everyone's help makes for a successful event.

Discount Cards

Volunteers are needed to help organize the Discount Card fundraiser. This committee will be responsible for getting local businesses to offer a discount for their business on the card. The cards will be distributed to the students to sell.

Equipment

Volunteers are needed to assist in the transport of the instruments, drum major podiums, water coolers, etc. to the football games and band contests. Students assist with the loading and unloading, but volunteers help move equipment onto the field for the shows. There are two trailers and a pickup truck is needed to pull one of the trailers.

Hospitality Room

Volunteers are needed to set up a hospitality room for guests upon band directors' request and for Heart of Dixie band competition.

First-Aid

Volunteers are needed who have been first-aid and CPR certified to help with the band, whether it be a home game, away game, festivals, or any other travel plans.

Fruit and Meat Sale

Volunteers are needed to prepare fruit and meat sale packages to be distributed to the students, help with the collection of monies turned in from the students' order forms, help tally fruit and meat orders to place the band's overall order, unload fruit and meat from the delivery trucks, and help fill each student's order for completion of delivery to their customers. Students will pick up their fruit and meat for each of their customers in the band room on the day of the delivery date.

Heart of Dixie

The Heart of Dixie Band Competition has been a tradition at PHS for over 25 years. This is one of the major fund raising events of the year. Bands come from all over the south to participate in our Heart of Dixie band festival. We want to present a warm, friendly atmosphere to judges, directors, students, chaperones, bus drivers, etc. so they will come back every year. It takes a lot of help to be the best band competition in the south! 

Photographers

Volunteers are needed to take pictures of students during the year. These pictures create a wonderful "History Book" for the PHS band program. They will be used in many different occasions such as senior memorabilia, pictures for the newspapers, etc.

Rain Coats/Plumes

Volunteers are needed at each football game and band contest to distribute plumes before the half-time show and rain coats for inclement weather. Each of these items need to be collected from the students after the event and stored until they are needed again.
