Parent Volunteer Opportunities
This section shows volunteer opportunities that are always needed. Some positions may have a current chair but keep them in mind for this year or next. As students graduate, parents of the younger students are needed to fill these roles. Ideally, co-chairing with an experienced parent is a good way to “learn the ropes” for when you take over.
Band Camp Snack Servers: Band Parents serves snacks morning and afternoon to our hot, tired band students. Volunteers to help with the set/up, serving and clean/up are always needed. If you can arrange to help for a few hours during this week, please call the President-elect/Vice-President listed in your summer Quarter Notes Newsletter ASAP.
Class Representatives: Four or five parents from each class service as Class Representatives. They do phoning of parents when it may be necessary. Generally, you may remain a class representative for your child’s high school career.
Quarter Notes Newsletter: Duties include preparing and mailing the Quarter Notes Newsletter, which is prepared several times a year. We hope to use e-mail for this as much as possible. The officers, directors, and chairmen provide most of the information for the Quarter Notes.
KHS Newsletter/Publicity: Prepare articles about our Band Program for the KHS monthly newsletter. Include items of interest such as marching competitions, honor band participants, upcoming concerts, fundraising events, etc. The officers, directors, and chairmen provide most of this information. Also, publicize upcoming events in the Kearney Hub.
Fall marching Band Program: Prepare the Fall Marching Band Program (brochure), which is handed out at one of the home football games.
Uniform Chairperson: Inventory uniforms, measure and fit students for uniforms and distribute them during band camp.
Pit Crew: Band parents are needed to drive equipment trucks to competitions. They assist in loading and unloading equipment and uniforms on the trucks. They also help move the percussion (pit) equipment and Color Guard equipment on and off the field at competitions.
Pride Buttons: Pride buttons are pins you wear that show your child in uniform. Parent volunteers are needed to photograph students, arrange for making the buttons and selling them to the parents. The special education students at KPS usually make the Pride buttons.
Band Parent Officers: Two positions become available every year; the President-elect/Vice President and either the Secretary or Treasurer position. This allows for continuity on the Executive Board as every year there are two new people with the three experienced ones. Please consider running for office. A good organization needs good leaders. Terms and duties of the officers can be found in the KHS Band Parents Association By-Laws in the back of this Handbook.
Band Trip Sponsors: Parents who choose to travel with the band on band trips will be expected to serve as sponsors (checking rooms and assisting where needed).
