Parent Volunteers
Band * Chorus * Orchestra 


We Need Your Help!

Our music ensembles succeed because of parental support from parents and family members like YOU! In order to maintain their level of excellence throughout the year, we need volunteers to help our events run smoothly. Helping out will enrich your experience, as well as your child's, in the music program.  

Our goal is to have each family help out with at least one event. We use Sign Up Genius to help us organize our volunteer opportunities. Requests for sign ups will be sent via NHSMusic@ googlegroups​.

To receive information and updates from the NHS Music Program, please join our group eMail list. If you would like to subscribe to our group email please send an email to nhsmusic+subscribe@googlegroups.com
When asked to confirm your affiliation to NHS Music, please include the student name, grade and music program (Band, Orchestra, Chorus).

Thank you in advance for your help!

Volunteer Opportunities

FUNDRAISERS
We offer a fundraising opportunity each year where the students can earn money to pay for the band/chorus trip if they choose to participate.  The band/chorus usually takes one trip each year in April.

COMPETITIONS, FESTIVALS, PARADES

The Marching and Concert Bands participate in competitions, festivals and parades. These are opportunities for the students to perform and compete against other high school bands. NHS participates in a competition in the Fall and an adjudicated concert during the Spring trip. Volunteers are needed to help chaperone, load and unload buses and the truck, and to walk the parade route with the band.

PHOTOS
​​We usually ask a parent to take informal photos at our music events to later post on our Newark High School Music Program Facebook page so they are available for everyone to see (no names are posted) and download.  We are always looking for more photographers.  If you would like to contribute some photos, please contact our social media chairperson.
Principal Selkman often volunteers his time to support our fundraising efforts. Here he is helping our Music Booster volunteer serve salad at our Spaghetti dinner fundraiser.

FOOTBALL GAMES
Helping at the football games ... What does it entail?

There are four major booster activities at the games:
  1. Uniform Duty:  Uniforms are stored in the band room. Students come to the door of the store room before the game and get their bagged uniforms.  Afterwards, the students re-bag their uniform and return them to the store room where the volunteers hang them up.
  2. Chaperoning:  For away games, each bus needs a parent on it to be sure everyone is on board and seated.
  3. Booster Table: During the first half of the game we sell fundraising items at the Booster Table.  After halftime, the items are boxed up and taken back to the band room. Generally volunteers work in two shifts:  1) Setting Up and Pre-Game through the 1st Quarter or 2) 2nd Quarter through Halftime and Breaking Down
  4. Pit:  Working the "Pit" means helping students to load and unload the instruments that remain on the sidelines during the show (xylophones, vibraphones, percussion, etc.) as well as the ladders that the drum majors stand on.  After the show, all items are taken back to the band room (home games) or truck (away games).

One of the perks of helping with the above items is that you get free admission to the game!

BOTTOM LINE ... GET INVOLVED!!!  

We need you!  Whether you can donate a lot of time or a little, your contribution is important!!
