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. Check out the #bingo channel for more information or DM Kayla Ball on Slack with questions. 

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 contact JJ O'Dell on Slack for more information.

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 seatbelts for 55+ students, plus transportation for uniforms, shakos, large instruments, tables, coolers, etc. There will be a sign up genius in Slack for each show. 

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

Props: It is undecided if we will have props this year so stay posted! In past years this has been a mix of designing, painting, constructing, and maintaining. 

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. There will be a signup genius in slack for each show. 

UHaul drivers: We need UHaul drivers to transport equipment to most events. DM Kayla Ball or Melissa Cuevas for information.

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! DM Marla Olson on Slack if you are interested in learning more.
