Interested in being a Chaperone?
The support and assistance of parent chaperones is necessary to the success of band activities. Selected parents of band students will act as chaperones at band functions. Chaperones are expected to support the philosophy of the program as stated by the director. Chaperones will ride on the buses and stay with the band during the entire activity. Anyone who volunteers to be a chaperone accepts certain responsibilities and will be expected to carry out assigned duties. The Band Director will coordinate recruitment of chaperones for overnight trips. Punctuality is necessary. Chaperones are prohibited from consuming alcoholic beverages immediately before or during band activities. Smoking is not allowed. The Director will make rules and guidelines with the safety and welfare of the band members in mind.
