Volunteer Opportunities

For every event, game or competition, our Marching Band needs help from parents. There is nothing technical or difficult about any of these jobs, and any parent or grandparent can do it. We’ll have veteran parents there to point and show you everything you need to know.

We are asking EVERY parent of MB students to volunteer at least ONCE this season.
