Light Up Lakewood Music Department Volunteers NEEDED

Light Up Lakewood is one of our great city's most joyous event and the Lakewood Music Department enjoys performing for our community. This year, Light Up Lakewood is Saturday, Dec 3rd, 2022. It is ALWAYS the first Saturday of December.


We are looking for a few adults who love the holidays and are willing to grab their best friend and be lead elves at the Lakewood Baptist Church from 10am-5pm (two groups of two could split the day in half). Your role would be to tell music students where to go when they report for the performance time, answer questions for other adult volunteers (there are usually 5 adults every two hours that report to assist).


Mary Bond, whose girls were in orchestra, has been the lead Elf at the Church and the Library since Light Up Lakewood began. She would like to pull back a little and is willing to co lead the Church this year to our SUPER volunteer lead elves so that they can take over next year. (You will never really be alone because Mary is amazing and is always there).


This is an important event for our music department and our musicians, please consider stepping up and helping us! If you are interested, please complete this form TODAY.
