​We need you! ❤️ We can’t do it without parent involvement! Chaperoning is super easy and fun too:

• Football games are usually less than 4 hours on a Friday night. You get to watch the game (free entry for chaperones) from the stands with the band.
• Come out and follow along with the band as they march in the March-A-thon. This is about a 4 hour commitment.
• Band Reviews are an all-day commitment on a Saturday.
• We also need organizational assistance throughout the season.
•  Volunteer sign ups @ Sign Up Genius

We need chaperones who are cleared with MDUSD (fingerprints & TB clearance on file). Find out more at www.mdusd.org/volunteer
