VOLUNTEERISM

Welcome to the Coatesville Parents Music Club, an organization dedicated to supporting the Red Raider Marching Band. A major part of our job is to encourage parents to explore and participate in the volunteer opportunities and scheduling involved in supporting a championship marching unit such as the Red Raider Marching Band. Your student's opportunity to participate in marching band is dependent, in part, on you volunteering to support the band's activities. Help is needed before, during and after each scheduled event. Some tasks can be completed in your home, and some will require your presence at the various functions. Anything you do will be greatly appreciated, and you get the bonus of being part of one of the most exciting groups on campus! Participation in the marching band is a very significant commitment, but tremendously rewarding.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Check the volunteer sign-up rosters for the various functions that are posted at the above mentioned events and VOLUNTEER! If every family volunteers at a minimum of 2 events per student, we can produce a successful marching season.

Mark your calendars with times and locations of events. Then be there!

Help your student make sure that his or her uniform is maintained and "inspection ready" BEFORE arriving at each event. This saves a volunteer from cleaning shoes or fixing a zipper in a panic at the last minute.

Watch for and read your weekly newsletter composed by each director, which would include valuable information. Please return all correspondence to the appropriate person and place in a timely manner.

Review the student Behavior Expectation Sheet.

Please contact a C.P.M.C Officer with any questions. Some parents are unable to attend meetings or events, but are willing to assist in other areas. PLEASE Contact Us! We will place you in a task that fits your schedule and talents.
