Volunteers

With the start of a new season upon us (Marching Band Mini Camp is just a few weeks away), we’re looking to fill some positions on the Upbeat team and looking for shadows for some positions we know we will have open in the ’25-’26 season. Take a look at the list below, if you are interested or would like to speak further about any of the positions (an inquiry is NOT signing your life away), we would be happy to speak with you!

Communications Team (additional members)
Day Trips Lead Chaperone
Lakota West Invitational (additional)
Mattress Sale
Parent Volunteer Potluck Dinners
Photographers (additional members)

Every position comes with full support and guidance from our Upbeat Club and a team of volunteers.

In addition to all of the above positions, there will be requests for volunteers for Band Camp, each of the above listed events, Pit Crew, helping with Uniforms and more. Stay tuned to communications for specific signup geniuses or reach out to President@lakotawestbands.org to express interest or ask for more details.

Getting involved is a GREAT way to get to know the other parents, students & directors involved in the band program at Lakota West.
