Volunteers
Volunteers are the life-blood of our organization – making all things possible. Members of our various Volunteer Committees provide invaluable volunteer resources and support to the programs and organization. Each Committee is managed by a chairperson, who provides leadership and reports on behalf of the Committee to the Board of Directors.
We ask that **EVERY** family provide volunteer services for 4 or more events in the areas listed. Without your assistance, the burden for providing these services fall to a very small number of people. Come join in the fun, meet some new people, and make a lasting difference on your student’s education.
| Committee | Description/Function |
|---|---|
| ANHS Marching Band Show | This is one of our MAJOR fundraising activities during the year and will require *EVERY* adult volunteer we can muster. Please see the list of Volunteer tasks for this event on the Registration page – which includes ticket sales, stadium control, food services, parking and traffic, hospitality, program advertising sales, and others. |
| Chaperones | This team is in charge of helping the instructional staff with checking students on and off of the busses. The chaperone team rides on the bus to and from the competition. The chaperone team also accompanies the students through warm up and on the field to provide assistance as needed.Chairperson: Zoe Vecchio EMail: chaperones@anhsmusic.com
NOTE: Pursuant to CUSD Policy, *ALL* chaperones must be registered and approved by the district as “Tier 1 Volunteers”. For more information, see the Capistrano Unified School District Volunteer page. |
| Event Volunteers Fall – Marching Band Spring – Drumline Spring – Color Guard |
We will be hosting and producing a Marching Band competition in late October, as well as Color Guard and Drumline competitions in the Spring. In order for these events to be successful, we will need **all** families to participation in staffing these events. Volunteers will be needed for Tailgate/food services, parking lot support, event logistics, ticket sales, participant hosts, and other tasks. Please check with the website as the dates approach for more information. |
| Fundraising | Assistance in fundraising can consist of organizing a fundraiser, collecting and organizing products and/or money for fundraisers, advertising, and general support for our various fundraisers. If you have experience in fundraising/soliciting donations from corporations/grant writing with other groups (little league, soccer, girl scouts, etc.), your assistance would help in this area. |
| Logistics | Logistics is a broad term that covers many volunteer needs. We load 2 trucks full of band/percussion instruments, props, and tailgate supplies. We need assistance in loading and driving the trucks, as well as driving the percussion equipment to the field at competitions. Logistics also works with the Chaperone Committee to organize chaperone support, bus riders, handing out water at competitions, assisting in the stands at football games, etc. The team also helps to build props and provide maintenance to Band and Color Guard equipment. Please contact the Chairperson for more detailed information.Chairperson: Marvin Swan EMail: logistics@anhsmusic.com |
| Photography / Video | Skilled photographers with professional-quality equipment are needed provide high-quality images of our students at all events. These images are made available to members and families through a restricted online photo gallery, where prints and photo-merchandise may be purchased. On-field access is limited, but we can often have 1 or 2 photographers accompany the band.Videographers are also needed to capture student performances in high-definition video, which we produce and share via our website. If you have a skills in videography and production, we could certainly use your help.Chairperson: Ken Hammond EMail: video@anhsmusic.com |
| Tailgate | The tailgate BBQ is a fundraiser throughout the year, including Back to School Night, Fall marching band competition, our spring colorguard and drumline competitions hosted at Aliso Niguel, and other events. Volunteer support is required in all areas, including:
We need parent participation at all events. If *all* families volunteer 3-4 times per year, we can have a great tailgate season. Time will vary for each event, but volunteers can plan on 3-4 hours of time per event. Chairperson: Diane Goldberg EMail: tailgate@anhsmusic.com |
| Uniforms | The uniform committee is responsible for organizing and maintaining the band uniforms. Volunteers are needed prior to the start of the school year to help in any of the following areas: fit, measure, hem, wash, and label the uniforms. This generally takes a couple of days during band camp in the band room. Those who wish to hem and wash may take the uniforms home at the end of the day to return the following week.Throughout the school year, other parents are needed to inventory band uniforms prior to the football games and/or competitions. Three or four parents are also needed to “plume the shakos” (feather in the cap) before the band marches on to the field. Overall, most of these jobs go quickly depending upon how many volunteers sign up, but usually do not exceed three hours per event. Everyone is welcomed. No sewing experience is required.Chairperson: Kim Stone EMail: uniforms@anhsmusic.com |
| Newsletter / Website | We now produce and publish a regular Newsletter, which provides information to our families, alumni, and other subscribers. That Newsletter and this website are the primary means of communication to our member families, so it is important that they contain current, accurate information. We can always use assistance in gathering information and creating content for both. If you’d like to help in these areas, please our Webmaster for more information.Chairperson: John Donovan EMail: webmaster@anhsmusic.com |
