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.

A team of dedicated parents ensure all band members, staff, chaperones and pit vipers are fed before each game or contest and support other activities throughout the year. (Ex: Staff Appreciation Luncheon, March-A-Thon, etc.)

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).
