Volunteering

You Are A Big Part of Their Success

The Colony High School Band is a student-led organization supported by the Colony High School Band Booster Club. Because your child is in band, YOU are a member of the COHI Band Booster Club.   It takes the untiring support of our Booster Club members, family, and friends - YOU, for the band to attain its highest potential.  How can you help your band student?

About volunteering … no experience necessary. No, REALLY! There are tasks that require specific skills, but most opportunities do not. If you can pull a soda from a cooler, take tickets at a gate, use scissors, sew, push or build props - you have all the skills you need. Better yet, there is so much to do, you are bound to find something you actually enjoy doing. At first it looks like everyone else knows what is going on but you. Take the initiative and say, “I am new, and I’m here to help.” We will put you to work straight away at something that is not far outside your comfort zone. It may be just a little outside, and the feeling will pass quickly. It won’t hurt a bit. You will be helping keep YOUR band fees down and have fun doing it. Trust us, we’ve been there.

Volunteers will NOT need to submit a formal volunteer application to help! 

In some specific cases, a volunteer will need to complete a formal CJUHSD Volunteer Worker Application (requires a background check), based on their roles and/or need for access to campus resources (e.g., keys). Mr. Matthews would need to contact the CJUHSD Office to begin the process, if it is necessary.
