Volunteering
Parents we need you !! If you are a parent of a Enka Band or Color Guard member, we encourage you to get involved and be part of what makes our program a huge success. We can not explain the level of importance and need for parent volunteers. The students are the performers, however it is the parents that make the show happen. There are no fees or hidden costs associated with being a Band Booster or being a Band Booster Officer. We NEED parents to get involved ! ! !
Why Volunteer? The great thing about volunteering with the Band Boosters is that there are jobs available for any time schedule. Some positions allow you to come to the competitions and practices and be very involved with the students, while others can be done “behind the scenes” and after hours. A job may sound intimidating at first, but you’ll generally find it’s easy once you jump in. There are many fellow Boosters available to help out as well. Try several positions…you never know what’s going to “click” for you ! Below is a list of positions and their responsibilities and associated tasks:
Color Guard Coordinator – Liaison between color guard parents and Color Guard instructor. Coordinate activities of the color guard including costume and shoe purchases and making of flags. Coordinate with Uniforms committee chair for transportation of guard costumes. Coordinate with truck chair for transportation of guard equipment to competitions.
Small trailer pull truck & driver: 2 to 3 volunteers as a backup to pull the small trailers to football games or competitions. This person will need to have a truck that can pull the 20ft small trailer.
Large Trailer: We have a primary driver, but we are looking for 1 or 2 back up drivers and we need to prepare for the future. We need someone with a CDL Class C license willing to help and learn responsibilities for driving the truck to various events throughout the year
Pit Crew – Throughout the marching season, we need 5-10 volunteers to man the pit crew at every home football game and competition. At this time we would like to have 10 volunteers. The Pit Crew assists the Marching Band with the movement of instruments and equipment on and off the field during games and competitions. This group plays a crucial supporting role – helping the front ensemble load and unload equipment on and off the field quickly. Not only do you work closely with the band members, you also get a front-row view of the on-field performance !
Uniform Team - we will need 3-4 people to help at each home football game & at competitions with the uniforms
Photographers & Videographer – Take pictures and/or videos of the Band & Color Guard at all competitions, shows, concerts, football games, events and fundraisers. It takes a group of photographers and videographers to help us ensure we have captured memorable moments.
Prop Builders- we need several handy people to help build the props that the band brings out onto the field. Mr Young has some grand ideas to make the show incredible this year.
Football Concessions - the away side concession is run by the Enka Boosters and all profits benefit the band. Each game requires 6 people to staff the booth. The VP coordinates this position. We will release a signup genius link closer to football season for people to sign up for concessions. (BONUS - you get into the football game for free)
Land of the Sky Leads:
Concessions - we need 2 people to coordinate food & run concessions at Land of the Sky, our current leads have a great manual listing out what they did for the past several years.
Hospitality Tent for the Performing University - we need 2 people to lead this. We do not yet know what university will be performing at LOS 2020, but we expect to be feeding 250-300 students/staff for bunch, snacks, & dinner. There is a great deal of information on what to do for this position.
We know your time is valuable and we appreciate every minute you allocate to help the boosters and the students.
Backgrounds in: Accounting – Business • Communications • Construction • Design • Driving • Electrical • Engineering • Events Planning • Inventory • Management • Photography • Programming • Repair • Retail • Sales • Secretarial • Sewing • Technology • Medical • Warehousing • Writing
Whatever expertise you bring to the table can be employed and will be much appreciated.
