The PGHS Band is supported by a volunteer Band Booster program. There are many opportunities to volunteer, from providing a snack or repairing a prop to chaperoning a trip. If you think you’re able to serve in one of these areas, please contact [email protected] or [email protected] and let us know the area where you’d like to offer your help.
PGHS Band Boosters
Kristy Barlow – Fundraising Chair – oversees our sponsorships and fundraisers. In 2022 we had two levels of band sponsorship, $1000 and $2000, and the student who acquired the sponsorship for the band had 33% of the total sponsorship applied to offset their student fees. We’re planning to offer the same sponsorship levels, so watch for a SuccessFund email explaining the benefits to sponsors. In 2023, BuckedUp is sponsoring the band by donating $10/hour per student volunteer hour and $12/hour per adult volunteer hour for work in their warehouse packing samples in mailers. See our SignUpGenius for opportunities to earn money towards your band fees!
Cortney Schelin – Food Chair – oversees a volunteer effort to provide snacks and meals to the band at competition events and during band camp. Here is our current Parade Season SignUpGenius if you’re able to volunteer to hand out refreshments to band members at the end of a parade.
Jen Clegg – Guard Mom – oversees help with anything related to the Color Guard including uniforms, makeup, flags, and more. If you’re a guard mom and can help CG with hair or makeup before events, please reach out to Jen at [email protected].
Caleb Olson – Uniform Chair – Oversees uniform distribution. We could use help during the season with taking measurements, assigning out uniforms, making any necessary alterations, and checking in uniforms at the end of the season.
Marshell Olson – Social Media Chair – responsible for photos at practices and events and posting to social media channels. If you like to take photos, please reach out to Marshell at [email protected]. You can find our social media channels at the top of the page “Find Us At” or go to the ColorGuard and Winter Drumline pages for their individual media channels.
Tylor and Angie Giles – Transportation Chairs – responsible for coordinating or providing transportation to get our band trailer and equipment and props to events. This is a huge undertaking and the person who pulls the trailer gets fully reimbursed for gas by the school.
Jim Olson – Drumline Dad/Transportation – Transportation for Winter Drumline and helps with Transportation for Marching Band
Andrew Wooley – Pit Crew Chair – oversees a volunteer effort to get pit and props on the field at competitions. Watch for a future SignUpGenius for volunteer opportunities.
Wendi Ernst – Communications Chair – coordinates with Mr. Succo and Band Booster chairpersons & sends out regular emails with updates regarding Marching Band during Parade Season and Competition Season. Watch for emails from: [email protected] or send Wendi a request to be added to her band email list.
Amy Jones – Photography Chair – takes photos of band members at the end of the season for team and group photos.If you’re able to take photos at events or help Amy with end of the season photos, we’d love more photographers!
Spirit Chair – coordinates with Band during PGHS Spirit Week to create daily activities that build team spirit in coordination with school spirit events.
Props Chair – we could use someone to oversee the building and design of props for competition season. We’ve had individual volunteers help with props but it would be useful to have one person who sees the big picture and makes sure all the details are coming together.
Brooke Kenney – Band Booster VP – coordinates with all the Booster chairpersons and volunteers to make sure all our assignments are being met. Brooke helps run Booster Meetings on the first Wednesday of each month at 7 pm in the band room.
