Lake Norman High School Wildcat Band
EXCELLENCE THROUGH DEDICATION
PARENT VOLUNTEERS
The band cannot be successful without the involvement of parent volunteers! There are so many areas of opportunity available, you are sure to find at least one that you can help in. So that all the work doesn't fall on the shoulders of a few, we ask that each family sign up for 2-3 volunteer spots per season. This can include, but is not limited to: working at the concession stand for home football games (all proceeds from the Visitor's Side Concessions go to the band), chaperoning a bus trip, donating snacks/food/drinks for events and trips, helping with uniforms and props, etc. Please see below for the many ways you can help.
​
We utilize Sign-Up Genius for our volunteer positions. When new opportunities are available, they will be posted in the BAND app, on the website, and on our social media sites. If you have any questions about volunteering, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Julie Dellinger.
​​
2025/2026 VOLUNTEERS:
Please fill out this form as soon as possible. You only need to fill out sections 1 and 2. Please return the forms to the black box in the band room, or you can email them to Mr. Brown.
