Volunteer Update
Quick Update on Activities! WCPSS Volunteer Registration Communication: Sign Up Genius Football Preview (including new drop off/pick up notes)
Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities 1. Band Camp 2. Parent Assistants Band Camp 3. Uniform Fitting 4. Football Game # 1
Uniform Fitting Preview Dates: August 19 1 to 4pm - Seniors & Juniors August 20 1 to 4pm - Sophomores August 21 12 to 4pm - Freshmen & New Marchers Help Needed: Check Sign-Up Genius! You do not need to know how to sew! Students need to wear a t-shirt and thin black athletic shorts under uniform bibs for fittings, and black crew socks to try marching shoes on. Show Shirts: Every year a new t-shirt is designed by the Band Council VP, based on the show theme. This year's theme is The Element of Four, and the shirt has been designed by Junior Ryan Wing. All marchers receive one FREE show shirt, which is worn under their uniform bibs during football games and competitions. Since these events often happen back to back (Friday night / Saturday morning), we highly suggest that each marcher purchase an additional show shirt. We will be ordering these FREE show shirts so they will arrive in time for the Parent Preview next Friday, August 16. We will also take orders for everyone who wants to purchase a 2nd Show Shirt for their child, and parents who want to purchase one to wear to show your support of the Golden Hawks Regiment Marching Band! Spirit Wear: There has also been some discussion about other Spirit Wear for the Band, and it is currently under development. Keep checking the Google Groups for updates.

PNC Arena Fundraising: Point of Contact = Glenn Oliver gnboliver@yahoo.com, 919-880-6199) What is PNC fundraising? VAB Catering has the concessionaire rights to the PNC arena. This company has its own hourly employees, but they allow community organizations (like ours) to supplement the workforce through volunteers. There are two types of concessions: Stands and Carts. The philosophy of the fundraising is that the people who work the events should have a predetermined credit go toward the appropriate student accounts. Any extra money goes toward the band at large. The pre-determined credit amount must be set such that the band does not lose money. We know most of the opportunities to work through Christmas except NC State Basketball (9-12 games to be scheduled). Minimum worker age = 18 for non-alcohol events, 21 for alcohol events
PNC Arena Fundraising: Point of Contact = Glenn Oliver gnboliver@yahoo.com, 919-880-6199) Some basic things to know about volunteering at the PNC: With the exception of NC State Games and some concerts, we serve beer when working a concession stand. To do this, workers have to go through ALE training which covers the appropriate laws and shows you how to check IDs. This is provided by VAB catering in September, and you must complete this prior to any alcohol event. Training dates have not been announced yet, but we will know them soon. This training is not paid. Duties of a cashier are counting inventory, ringing up sales, serving food/drinks, and cleaning up. A cashier will work about 4-5 hours at an event. Hockey games typically 5 hours and basketball games typically 4 hours The leader is responsible for the money and for reconciling the inventory at the end of the night. A stand leader will work about 1 hour more than the cashiers per night.
PNC Arena Fundraising: Point of Contact = Glenn Oliver gnboliver@yahoo.com, 919-880-6199) What do we know and what don t we know? The Hurricanes schedule is posted. Sometime in mid-august, we will know the NC State Basketball Schedule. These teams define most of the events at the PNC. There are other events like concerts, circus, Disney on Ice, etc. that we may be allowed to work. We will not know what events we will be allowed to work until we sign a contract with VAB catering in September. The more people we have to commit to work, the more events we can contract and more certainty is provided by VAB in scheduling. If we commit few people, then we essentially get scheduled for leftovers not taken by the prime groups and usually we will not know if we will be allowed to work until a week or so prior to the event. Since this is the classic chicken and egg scenario, we will not know how many events we will be allowed to work until we know how many we can commit to work. Also, it may turn out that other organizations may be able to commit more people and we may only be allowed to work limited events because of high supply of volunteers. Regardless of how many volunteers we have commit, it is imperative that we have an accurate estimate so we maximize fundraising and minimize risk.
PNC Arena Fundraising: Point of Contact = Glenn Oliver gnboliver@yahoo.com, 919-880-6199) Some basic things to know about volunteering at the PNC: Dress code is Band Boosters Polo Shirt / Hat and black pants. No denim pants allowed. Only allowed shoes are black, closed toed, closed back. For each event, you ll get to take a break and VAB catering provides a snack and tea/lemonade to eat during your break. Parking is free for workers at the PNC arena. SPECIAL BENEFIT: Working the stand is pretty fun and mindless. It is a great way to get to know your fellow band parents.
QUESTIONS? We have computers available in the band room for all parents that need to complete Volunteer Registration!!
