Donations needed:

We are in need of food donations. These food donations need to be non-sugary food items such as sandwiches, chips, and fruit. We also need donations of Gatorade and water.
Remember we are supplying food and drinks for 75+ people (students, Mr. Smith, and coaches). Food and drinks can be dropped off on Friday before or after the game, or at calltime on Saturday. Monetary donations for these items are also appreciated.

Volunteers needed:

We will need help loading the truck with equipment at North, unloading at Capo Valley HS, reloading at Capo Valley HS, and then unloading again at North. If you can help with any or all of these, please sign-up.
We will need help moving pit equipment, drum major podiums, etc. from the staging area to the field for the performance and back after performance (same as is done for football games).

Some things to consider for parents:

– You do not need to have experience to volunteer! There will be other parents on hand to show you what needs to be done.
– There is an entrance fee for all competitions. Per the CSBC website (http://www.calstatebandchamps.org/) for Saturday’s event, it’s $10 for adults, $8 for senior citizens, and children 5 & under free. All performing students are exempt from the fee.
– If you volunteer on competition day by loading/unloading, moving equipment, etc., it’s possible you will not have to pay the entrance fee but not guaranteed. Details will be explained on comp day.
– Be sure students have all uniform requirements listed above on comp day. Judges will deduct points from the performance if students are not wearing the required shoes, socks, etc.
