Volunteer your time
The Amherst Band Boosters is a volunteer-based non-profit that supports the school district's band program. Everyone's load becomes a little lighter when we all help out. There are currently a ton of committee openings that need to be filled with many different levels of involvement. Please remember that those who donate their time, and volunteer with events typically get their entrance fees to the event waived.
- Car Wash Committee (only in July)
- Spiritwear Committee (July-Aug, usually ends by 2nd game)
- Band Camp Committee (organizes with our caterers, directs volunteers, oversees games)
- Band Camp After Party (one-time event, planned in July/Aug)
- Halftime Snacks (only home games)
- Senior Dinner and Senior Night Committee (Preferably run by non-Senior Parents)
- Fall Banquet Committee (organizes event in Nov. with assistance)
- Fall Fundraiser (Night at the Races- Sept. 16)
- Concert Ticket Committee
