Chaperones
Contact: Lesley Lloyd: chaperones@greenhopeband.org
GH Band Chaperones' main goal is to keep our kids safe throughout the Marching Band season. Chaperones consist of parents/grandparents/friends of the band that help during practices, competitions, football games, parades, fundraising events, and other performances. Duties include providing water and snacks, handing out bandaids or ice as needed, monitoring your assigned group, and helping to keep students safe. This is a great way to spend time with students, see them in action and watch them transform the show over the entire season! [Note: Chaperones must have current Volunteer Registration Clearance on file with WCPSS, so be sure your paperwork is complete!] You can complete Volunteer Registration in the front office of GHHS or any Wake County Public School - please do so anytime after July 1.
If you are interested but have not Chaperoned please join us! We are happy to show you what we do!
