FUNDRAISER LINKS (VENUES)

Sentry: Ushering.  Working for Sentry is a great opportunity for those who want to add more fundraising dates to their calendar. It is especially good for those who do not want to work the concession stands, or cannot meet the concession stand report times. There is 1 location that we can volunteer at:

Raymond James Stadium for the Bucs, USF, Soccer, Monster Trucks and Concerts

Ray Jay - There are a lot of dates available.  Please Click on Ray Jay  to sign up for games and events

Concessions:  We have a couple of locations to work the concession stands.  Each venue has their own set of rules. Please read the info on the top portion of the signup genius for proper attire and rules

Ray Jay - We are back at Raymond James stadium in Tampa working concessions.  The sign up has changed a bit.  Stand 1 - beer cart and extras.  Everyone that has signed up for the beer cart or the "Extra" slots, names have already been turned in.  Extras may go on another beverage cart (small stand) or a food portable (small stand) the small stands close up after the 3rd quarter when alcohol stops.  Please take a look at the schedule.  There are some weekday games and weekend games, so there is something for everyone.  When we get closer to the event, Danah will update the "Extra" signups so you know what kind of stand and hopefully the location before you go.  She has been working very closely with them to make sure we have our stands, and if you have any medical issues that require you to bring a lunch bag or need handicap parking (Non Bucs Games, that do not provide buses) please contact her to get this set up either via email at warhawkbandmom@gmail.com or text to 727-475-0427 or send a message via FB Messenger as soon as you sign up for the event.

Please click on BEER to sign up to work the concession stands

The Amphitheater (The Amp) - We only have a few more concerts/events left. This is a super easy venue to work, either with frozen drinks, or we could work Tito's Lemonade, Wine stand or a beer wall.  We only have a few dates left for the 2018 year.  Please take a look, we need to fill up a lot of slots

This is probably the easiest - quick set up and clean up.  Please click on The AMP to sign up for this location

Alcohol Training:  New TEAM Alcohol & LEAD Training dates have been added for October

If you plan on working Raymond James stadium for the Bucs, USF, Monster Truck or concerts, or the Concerts at the Amp, you must have this training.

WATER DUTY/REHEARSAL CHAPERONES

We need volunteers to help with the following water duty/rehearsal chaperone shifts this week. It’s still quite hot outside, and we still have several kids who need extra help to tolerate it. We need to fill these shifts in order to help support the kid and instructors.  Please, please, PLEASE sign up and help us help them.

Many times our parents who regularly chaperone football games and competition trips fill these spots.  While we do appreciate all they do for the program,  we need help from other volunteers so that our this team doesn’t get run down and burnt out during this extremely busy time.

•        Tuesday, 10/9

      o     5-7pm:  3 people (no one is currently signed up)

      o     7-8:30:  2 people

•        Thursday, 10/11
