Calling all Volunteers!
  • Parents: we hope you can sign up to help with at least one game or competition this fall. We ask that each family volunteer once a season per band student. We need all hands on deck to pull off a successful marching season. It's also a great way to meet other parents!
  • If this is your first time volunteering, there are checklist and assignments to make this a smooth process.
  • There are still slots available, so please sign up and help up make this another great season!


Sign Ups:
  • Sign up to volunteer at a band competition.
    • There are six this year and one is an overnight trip.
  • Sign up to volunteer at a football game.
    • There are five home football games this year.
  • Sign up to sell beer at a Virginia Tech home football game (must be 18+ and do a 2 hr online training; earn $100 toward next year's march band registration for each volunteer shift completed)
    • There are seven games we are signed up for this year. Plan for a 7 hour day (3 hrs before the game until the start of 4th quarter).
    • Please call or text Carole Ellison if you have any questions, 540-273-8248.


  • If you have another interest/hobby to use for volunteering? Please reach out to Teresa and let her know!
