Seeking Chaperones for Upcoming Trips
Looking for a fun and meaningful way to be part of your student’s band experience? Join us as a trip chaperone! You’ll help keep students safe, make sure they’re where they need to be, and share in the excitement of performances and travel. Chaperones are the heart of these trips by supporting students, cheering them on, and creating lasting memories together.
A Raptor background check (renewed every 3 years, $18) is required. Chaperones are responsible for their own trip cost, which will be shared once finalized.
Ready to make a difference and be part of an unforgettable experience? Apply here to be a Trip Chaperone for the Competition Band.
