We Need YOUR Help!

This year, we have some events lined up, but we can’t do it alone. If you have mad talents, skills or just a heart to help – we would love to have you on our team!

We’re looking for:

Event Coordinators to help lead specific activities
Volunteers to support before, during and after events
Behind-the-scenes helpers for planning, setup, fundraising, and more!

Bringing these opportunities to our band students and community is going to be an incredible experience – and it will be event better with YOU involved!

Email gphsbandboosters@gmail.com for more details and info
