It’s great to have so many people interested in how they can help support the Gator Pride Marching Band. We have quite a few ways you can support:

Bingo: We need your support to keep bingo running! This program can bring $40,000+ a year into the music programs at SLHS but not without your help. Bingo supports the entire instrumental music program so we’re asking students and families to help at least once every 3 months throughout the calendar year. The sign-up can be found on the Bingo Group on SportsYou or on the Fundraisers section of the website.  We are in desperate need of training managers and callers for BINGO, please consider speaking the Jessica Fields about this important need.

Food volunteers: We can use a few people who have coolers and a table or two to volunteer to bring those to events. At the event we will need help with set up/serve/clean up. A sign-up will be created for each event for everything we need for that particular event. We have a rough menu planned for the entire season, but ideas/suggestions are always welcome. Please join the Food Crew or contact JJ O'Dell on SportsYou.

Drivers: It is better to plan for no buses and cross our fingers so for now we are anticipating the need for adult drivers for each show. See the schedule for show dates. We will have to have enough seat belts for 55+ students, plus transportation for uniforms, shakos, large instruments, tables, coolers, etc. There will be a sign-up for each show which you can find on the SportsYou Groups or in several locations on the website. 

**Note: even if we have buses for students, we will still need a few drivers to take equipment. 

Show-day support: The marching band will need help getting on and off the field for each performance. We will need 9-12 family volunteers to help push the pit/props/podium. There will be a sign-up for each show which you can find on the SportsYou Groups or in several locations on the website. 

UHaul drivers: We need UHaul drivers to transport equipment to most events. There will be a sign-up for each show which you can find on the SportsYou Groups or in several locations on the website.

Board members: This is not necessarily for marching band - this supports the entire music program, but we have vacant seats and could really use your help! Please contact Kristi Roberts or Marla Olson on SportsYou if you are interested in learning more.
