Open Upbeat Activity Leader Positions for 2017-18

Any parent with a student in the Lakota West Band Program grades 7-12 is part of the Lakota West Upbeat Program. The Upbeat Club works hard to make the transition to new Activity Leaders go smoothly from year to year. For that reason, you will often see a need for a new Leader to shadow the current Leader for the first year. For current opportunities for 2017-18, see below:

Current openings:
Bus Chaperone Leader to shadow current Leader
Jazz ‘n Cakes – Basket Raffle Leader (current Leader will train)
Mattress Sale Leader to shadow current Leader
Pit Crew Leader to shadow current Leader
Photographers – willing to be trained, and to help Lead cover events
Split the Pot Leader
Tag Day Event Leader / Melissa Barr is assisting
Third Qtr Refreshments Leader
Uniforms (Concert) Leader to shadow current Leader
Uno’s Doughraiser Leader to shadow current Leader
Video/DVD Leader

Information to be updated as changes occur and positions are filled. See Upbeat page for most current information regarding openings and volunteer needs throughout the year. For current list of Board, Committee and Activity Leader positions and contact information, please see our Key Contacts Page.

For more information or to volunteer, please contact Dawn at president@lakotawestbands.org.

Memorial Day Parade

The Lakota West Firebirds will be marching in the West Chester Memorial Day Parade on Monday May 29.
Students should load truck on last day of school – May 24. Students (in summer uniforms) should be dropped off at the Post Office by 9:15am. If that changes, look for an email from Mr. Carr through CHARMS. The parade starts at 10am and will lead to a ceremony at the cemetery where the band will play the Star Spangled Banner. Students will be dismissed at the conclusion of the ceremony.
