Events and Activities
Throughout the year, we have a variety of events where we would love your help! Field trips and impromptu activities are always coming up, watch your email for these.
Band Camp BBQ
Join our All Island Band BBQ. Great food, fun (dunk the directors), and a great way to get to know each other before the school year starts.
Band Together
In early November, MISBB holds THE party of the year, Band Together! Contact BandTogether@MISBB.org if you'd like to help.
Uniform Sizing/Fitting
In late spring, we need help measuring and sizing our band kids for their uniforms for the upcoming season. In August, we need help distributing uniforms to our MIHS marching band students.

MIHS Marching Band Game Night Volunteer Opportunities
For every home football game, our high school band marches from the school to the stadium, performs on the field and in the stands, then back to the Amphitheater to perform for the 5th quarter event. We need volunteers to keep them safe and looking good! No previous volunteer experience is required!
Traffic Crew
Keep the kids safe from cars as they march from the high school to the stadium before the game and vice versa after the game.
Plume Distribution
A few minutes before halftime, the kids will enter the track and we will put in the plumes. After the halftime performance, we take the plumes out.
Equipment Crew
Set up the ladders, platform, and equipment needed for the halftime show and tear down and return it after the game.
Water Crew
Keep our band crew hydrated and happy while in the stands.
Uniform Crew
Before the game, make sure the kids look sharp and after the 5th Quarter celebration, make sure the kids hang up their uniforms for the next performance.
