Big Mac Band Stand Volunteers (Concession Stands)

We are in need of additional help (see FUNDRAISERS page) for our home games.  Please contact Maryann Durbin (durbin65@comcast.net) or Anita Brecosky (anita@brecosky.com) to sign up as a volunteer.  Our concession stands are the largest fundraiser we do and the proceeds benefit the ENTIRE band.  It's easy and fun to do...plus you get to work with a lot of the other wonderful band parents!

Freshman Parents:  Someday, when our kids have graduated, you will have to run these stands.  So come learn the ropes now and have a blast while you are doing it!  Great fun to be had by all!  Seriously!
