IF WE GO TO FOOTBALL GAME, WE WILL NEED BAND AIDES
Band Aide: Assist with chaperone duties at the stadium during the game. If you are unable to chaperone, help with equipment or serve meals, this is a great way to help the band. You provide your own transportation and ticket to the game. Once you are at the stadium, you should come to the band area and find me – Gaby Torres. I will give you a badge and will discuss your responsibilities. Band Aides provide assistance with keeping track of students going to/from restrooms, watching the stands while band is performing, picking up music, standing at entrances to ensure only band students are in the band area. You can help out for one or two quarters or the entire game.
