BandAid provides volunteers at all band rehearsals, football games and contests to assist students who experience minor medical issues such as dehydration and minor physical injuries. You do not need to have a medical background to volunteer, but we do prefer you to have completed the LISD’s online HIPAA/med training class. Note, this job requires moderate lifting and you can be on your feet quite a lot. As a bonus for volunteering, the BandAid station next to the rehearsal field provides a great vantage point to watch the show develop!

To volunteer for BandAid:

1. This sign up is for band rehearsal shifts only. Games and competitions will be scheduled by the BandAid Chair and only volunteers who have participated in rehearsals will be eligible.
2. We ask all new volunteers to attend a BandAid orientation. Please sign up for July orientation dates here. If you have missed these orientation dates, please contact Bandaid-Team@vhsband.com.
3. Take LISD HIPAA/med training online. The more we have trained, the better. All are encouraged to take the training, but it is not required. This class must be taken annually.

Chaperones assist the students at all times: escorting them to and from the stadium during bathroom breaks, inserting and removing plumes in the student’s shakos, collecting flip folders after the Legacy performance, handing out beverages after the marching performance, preparing the bleacher area for the band before the game, ensuring the bleacher area is clean after the game, and other miscellaneous duties that may arise. You will remain in the stands with the students for the entire football game.

In order to give everyone an opportunity to chaperone a football game, please do not sign up for more than 3 games (and only one home game).

The Hospitality Team ensures all band members, staff, chaperones, and pit vipers are fed and hydrated for every event.  All hospitality, whether for home or away football games, will be in the VHS cafeteria.  Please only sign up for 5 dates to allow for everyone to have a chance to participate.

Pit vipers help move band equipment on and off the field for performances. This includes the props, front ensemble equipment, and the drum major podiums. While the band equipment is easy to move, there will be lifting involved. You must be able to freely walk while pushing and pulling heavy equipment over 50 Lbs. Pit Vipers also help load and unload the band trailer and box trucks for away games. In order to give everyone an opportunity to participate, please do not sign up for more than 3 games (1 Home + 2 Away).

Contests are where VHS Band and Vision compete against other programs. Use this form to express your interest in helping out – the Pit Viper Leads will put together their contest teams based on the interest and availability of volunteers.

The Photography Team captures the moments that tell the story of each year. We capture the memories! If you have a DSLR or mirrorless camera, we would love for you to join us! We tag-team events. On the nights you want to just enjoy the show, the rest of the team has the field covered. And when it’s your turn behind the lens, you have a whole group of people backing you up with gear tips and settings. No professional experience required!

If you’re interested in joining the Photography Team, please complete our onboarding form.
