Click here for details on Training and Volunteer sign ups for 2011During the months of April through October the GHMB runs a fundraiser by working at Walnut Creek Amphitheater and we need people to volunteer to work at Walnut Creek. Our working at Walnut Creek is a major fundraiser for the Band Boosters and provides funds for your student account which will help to offset YOUR marching band or other band related expenses. Most of the profit from this activity goes directly to your student account with a small percentage going to the Band Booster general fund. We currently have 3 stands that we staff for every event at Walnut Creek and depending on the event may be asked to help out at other stands. The stands that we work are the Hill, East Igloo, and West Igloo. The following is an estimate of how many people it takes to operate these locations
West Igloo – 3 - 6 people (most events 4)East Igloo – 3 - 6 people (most events 4)
Hill – 4-6 people (most events 5)
This means that we need a minimum of 10 – 13 people to volunteer for every event. It is not hard work and sometimes can be fun. There are a couple of requirements that need to be met by all volunteers that work at Walnut Creek. You must be trained in alcohol awareness through the Aramark TIPS program and the NC Alcohol Commission RASP program which are free and each class is only one night for about 2 - 3 hours. It can be a lot of fun to work Walnut Creek and it is a great opportunity to meet some of the other band parents, members of the community, and other high schools parents.
Look for information about this fundraiser starting around February or March as to the concerts that are coming and the training classes.
