The Band NEEDS Parent Volunteers

It takes a community to build success, and we need help. None of the volunteer jobs listed require a lot of your time. Some jobs are as simple as setting up a Drum Major podium at football games, taking pictures, to chaperoning events. Any help you can offer directly benefits your child's experience in the Berkley High School Band program. Signup below to receive more information on how to get involved and how you can help.
