The committee members divide up the following responsibilities: grocery ordering and shopping; ordering ice; concession stand setup; and grill operation. 10 to 12 volunteers are needed at each home game to run the concession stand (cashiers, food wrappers, order stockers, grill, setup and cleanup.)
Pit Crew: The chairperson of this committee needs volunteers to assist with the transport of pit equipment to the field and back to the band room after halftime at home games. At away games and competitions, assistance is needed loading and unloading the equipment trailer and transporting the equipment on and off the field. May also assist Color Guard with flags.
Chaperones: The chairperson of this committee coordinates bus chaperones and pit crew volunteers for away games and competitions. Some chaperone duties include riding the buses, escorting the band with the directors, carrying the medical bag, assisting Color Guard, and distributing and collecting plumes.
