MUSIC IN THE CASTLE .2024.
Mark your Calendar, sign up and Get Ready for Music in the Castle 2024!
Believe it or not, Music in the Castle preparation is already underway and it is time to mark your calendar and reserve your favorite volunteer position. This year it will be held on Saturday, October 5th. MITC is an all day, all hands on deck event and family participation is required. If you need help deciding how to best help or are just unsure of what this event is or how you can help, we have you covered. Click on the links below and read up on everything MITC or reach out to a seasoned band parent or Band Booster board member. There is a volunteer position for everyone. This year is going to ROCK!
Need to know what Music in the Castle is and what the volunteer positions are? Start Here! Thanks to a very special band booster, we now have a video to walk you through what to expect when you volunteer at Music in the Castle. Watch the video and then read through the different descriptions in the link below to get a better idea where you can best support your student and the band on this very important day.
Now it’s time to reserve your volunteer position. There are three time slots, “Morning” which is from 8 am to 1 pm, “Afternoon” which is from 1 pm to 6 pm and “Evening” which is from 6 pm to close which is about 10 / 11 pm. Please select the link for the time frame(s) that you wish to volunteer for and then find your desired position description. Thank you!
attention New Parents!! (or parents who have previously not volunteered)
Because volunteering during Music in the Castle is REQUIRED for all families, we have made it easier than ever this year to volunteer without any fear of no experience. This one singular event is what brings in the majority of the money that we need to operate as a band the REST OF THE YEAR. There are no other money making events until Jazz Fest in the spring. Therefore, it is hugely important that all families participate. Each year the Band Boosters go out of their way to give all of our volunteers everything they need and need to know in order to best succeed in their position. However, this year we are instituting a shadowing program for our new parents to work with a seasoned band parent to learn the ropes in whatever position they feel the most qualified for. This allows our new families time to learn their position and all that Music in the Castle is without fear or apprehension so that they can pass on that knowledge and experience next year. If you feel that this volunteer position fits you best, please fill out the form below and we will partner you up with an experienced band parent in the area that you are most interested in. Thank you for your help! We literally cannot do this without out you!
