Committee Chairs and Support Crews
Our SLOIMBA board is hard at work evenings and weekends keeping our students’ band program running but with our huge new student numbers, they cannot do it all. We need your help! Please consider supporting your child’s experience by immediately jumping in to help in one of the “behind the scenes” volunteer positions. Band Alumni or Community Volunteers welcome! Email info@slotigerband.org for more information.
Chairpersons are needed for important standing committees. You’d coordinate the efforts of your members and have a SLOIMBA Board member supporting you.
Uniform Coordinator and support crew: A lead organizer is needed to oversee the organization, fitting schedules, alterations, coordinate dry cleaning, etc for both the Fall marching uniforms and concert season uniforms. This is an especially important role in the Fall and volunteers are always needed in the support crew.
Seasonal Fundraising Event Coordinators: See’s Candy in the spring, Parent Liaisons for student-sponsored fundraisers throughout the year, or even create a new event?
Volunteer Coordinator: Help organize our mighty crew of parent volunteers for events & performances. Help find helpers for committees. A seasoned parent would be ideal, but not necessary.
Grant Writers: volunteers are needed to research and apply for grants to support the enrichment activities not covered by district funding.
If you’re able to help with one of these important positions, please send an email to info@slotigerband.org as soon as possible.
Thank you!
