Grizzly Band Camp can't happen without the support of many parent volunteers. This year, the GP Band Boosters are using our amazing new website to post volunteer and donation needs for various booster sponsored events throughout the year. We have many volunteer and donation opportunities available during Band Camp. Parent volunteers will help GP Band Booster Board Members with taking attendance, uniform fittings, organizing uniforms and supplies, lunch supervision, picture day supervision, maintaining the water station, and distributing frozen treats. Donation needs include (borrowing for the week) 4-6 canopy tents to provide shade on the practice field and daily frozen treats for our hard working band students.

Click HERE to sign up to volunteer or donate.

Donations are always welcome! See the Support page to find ways you can help make the band experience a great one for our kids!
