HSS Band 2010-11.5 NEW ~ Volunteer sign-up online!
Hi Band Boosters,
I'm really looking forward to seeing the marching band's performance this evening; I know they've been working hard the past 2 weeks!
As you may know, the marching band program needs lots of parent help to be successful. (You can learn about some of the different volunteer opportunities in our New Parent Brochure, available on the Band Booster Blog.)
This year we're trying a new online sign-up for volunteers. We'll be talking more about volunteering at the potluck tonight but, if you'd like to check out SignUpGenius before then, here's the link:
http://signupgenius.com/go/hssband
To use SignUpGenius, you first login .... which means providing an email address and creating a password. (Ugh - yes, sorry - another password!) Once you've got an account, you can sign up to volunteer; check back at your convenience; make changes to your sign-up, etc. SignUpGenius does not share your email address. (Alternatively, you can let me know what you'd like to sign up for, and I can sign you up.)
I'd love your feedback on SignUpGenius ... if you check it out today, please email me any questions or suggestions ... or catch me at the events tonight.
Also - If you'd like to order a band booster t-shirt, and/or pay for marching shoes, bring your checkbook tonight. (We'll have some Booster shirts available so you can check out sizes; see order form attached. We're submitting the order for t-shirts on Monday morning, so the deadline for ordering is Sunday.)
I'm looking forward to the evening!
Humbly serving our kids,
Lorraine Monaco
