We have some executive board positions to fill for next year.

 

            Publicity- The object of this volunteer position is to promote the wonderful things the band does. This is not a crazy time consuming job, so if you are looking to get your feet wet on the executive board, this is the job for you. You will promote us on social media, flyers, and any other way you can think of. We are looking for a fresh new perspective.

           

Treasurer- This position does require time but it is not difficult. You’ll need to know how to use a basic excel spreadsheet. Vicki will go through everything with you to be sure you are comfortable.

VP Corporate and Small Business Sponsorships- We are always in need and looking for people and businesses to partner with us! In this volunteer position you will contact companies and ask them to donate/sponsor our Award Winning Marching Band. We offer different levels of sponsorship and have a few sponsors that support us every year. We are looking to reach out and make more connections.
