The Band Boosters are a wholly volunteer organization whose main responsibility is to support the West Boca Raton High School Band Program. Without dedicated volunteers there is no way that our goal would be achieved. It takes a great deal of time, organization and effort each year to meet the needs of the Band Program. Please take a moment to look over the volunteer needs below and let us know if you could volunteer, even if it’s for just an hour of your time! There is a place for everyone and we need your help!

Please note that by signing up for a committee, you are in no way committing yourself, however you may be invited to committee meetings and you will be our “go to” pool to see if you are available to help.

CHAPERONES
School policy requires one adult chaperone for every eight students participating in school events. This includes all home football games, marching and concert band competitions, parades, Band Camp and any other event that takes the students off campus. Parents that wish to volunteer to chaperone must register with Palm Beach County Public School District via their On-Line Volunteer Registration Form and be cleared prior to chaperoning students. The Chaperones Chairperson coordinates people to serve as chaperones, assures that sufficient chaperones are scheduled and makes sure chaperones understand their responsibilities.

UNIFORM COMMITTEE
This committee is responsible for issuing and maintaining Marching band uniforms. They schedule fittings for students, assisting with alterations and repairs as necessary, before, during and/or after performances. They prepare and take uniforms to the cleaners as needed and oversee disbursement and storing of uniforms for all band functions.

PIT CREW
Under the direction of the Vice President Transportation and Logistics this committee loads/unloads and transports large “non-marching” instruments, props and equipment to and from the field for all Marching Band Performances.  This committee is also responsible for scheduling rental trucks if needed.

CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP COMMITTEE
This committee works year-round to solicit funds/donations from Local Businesses to support the Band Program. In addition, committee members investigate and submit applications for Grants as an additional means of support for the Band.

FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE
This committee investigates Fund Raising Options to Present to the Board Members for consideration. This committee also organizes, administers and oversees all approved Fund Raising activities for the Band.

PUBLICITY COMMITTEE
This committee makes sure the Community knows what is going on with the Band, and what an outstanding and talented group of students we have! Members ensure signs/banners are prepared and posted several days prior to Band Events and submit photos, text and/or announcements to the local Newspaper (keeping publishing deadlines in mind) to promote attendance at FVHS Band Activities and Fundraisers.

HOSPITALITY/MENTOR COMMITTEE
The main focus of this committee is to seek out and welcome new parents and students into the Band Program. Committee members serve as mentors to freshman parents and volunteers, answering questions and forwarding referrals. This committee is also responsible for making phone calls to Band families when information/announcements are required for unexpected events and/or schedule changes. Volunteers for this committee will be required to call about 6 to 10 families with a short message on an “as-needed” basis.

CONCESSION/HOSPITALITY COMMITTEE
The Concession/Hospitality Committee is responsible for selling concessions at all our performances, Selling shout outs during football games. This group is also responsible for helping coordinate group meals during band camps and other reception events.

BAND REHEARSAL & FIRST AID HELPERS
Responsible for preparing water cooler and watering students during “breaks” and administering minor first aid if needed during after-school evening rehearsals and Band Camp.

By the end of marching season, your child will have devoted several hundred hours to learning and performing their marching show? They may have even spent more time on band than watching TV for the same period! How much time could you donate to supporting an activity that is so important to your child?
