Volunteering

We Need You!

Parent volunteers play a major role in the success of the GBS Band Program. We have a lot of fun and it’s a great way to see your students in action. Click on the links below to volunteer for some of the fun activities.

A variety of roles are needed throughout the year. No prior experience is necessary and ALL parents (and grandparents, aunts & uncles) are welcome to sign up whenever you’re available.

Don’t worry if it’s your first time.  Be sure and check in with the coordinator upon arrival.  Team leads will provide a full explanation of responsibilities prior to the event. 

We’re also on the lookout for those handful of parents who’ll step up and become part of the GBSIL Board. Whether it’s in an executive role or co-leading a support team, board members provide active leadership and have been an essential component of the GBS Band Program and a legacy of success that stretches back decades.
