Band Camp for our marching kids is just around the corner and we need YOUR help! Please see the food and volunteer list below for each day beginning July 18th. Please have all food donations to the NPHS Cafeteria before 3pm. Volunteers, please arrive to the cafeteria at 3:30pm. We are estimating feeding 130 people each day so we appreciate all the food and extra hands it takes to do that. Thank you in advance for helping our kids be well fed all week!

PLEASE NOTE: We meet each morning as a group at the Band Barn at NPHS - located at the SW Corner of the Football Field, adjacent to the Southern Hancock Admin building. There we will hand out Parking Passes, Event Wristbands, and carpool as a group to IMS!

Any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to Angie Campbell @ npbbimscoordinator@gmail.com

On Friday July 22nd Snowie of Indy will be at the High School at the end of Marching Band Camp. All families are welcome to attend and enjoy a treat with their students!

We are still looking for parents to help with uniforms (assisting with fittings, polishing shoes, laundering, etc.). To be included in uniform communications, please text Susan Buchanan at 317-432-4064, preferably by 7/15.

We are planning to have a "clean out" day at the barn, likely a Saturday in the near future. Once the barn is cleaned out and organized, the actual prop building will start. During the season, we will have weekly prop building sessions on Thursday evenings while all the kids are at rehearsal. Watch for more details to come.

We are needing a Concessions Coordinator for the upcoming school year. This individual will have lots of support. The intention of this role is not to be a gladiator volunteer, but to rather coordinate the operations of the concessions. With football/fall concessions on the horizon, this seat will play a vital role.

If you are interested, please reach out to Kathy and/or Lindsey.
