Volunteer. Get Involved. Don't Miss a Moment!
One of the best, most rewarding ways to be a part of the TWHS Band Family is to volunteer!
Not only does it give you a "front row seat" to your child's Band/Guard experience, it shows that you care about what's going on in their life. It takes a (large) village to keep everything running, and it could not be done without our fantastic volunteers.
See below for an overview of some of the various volunteer areas. There are many, many ways to donate your time and talents. All are welcome!

Chaperones chaperones@twhsband.org
Moving a group of 300+ kids from school to stadium to performance and back requires lots of buses and lots of chaperones. It's a great way to get to know the kids and other parents! Chaperones are needed to ride the (school) buses to & from games, and (charter) buses to & from out-of-town contests. Game days can be Thursdays, Fridays, or Saturdays. Whether you can help out once a week or once a season, we'd love to have you "on board"!
Pit Crew & Props pitcrew@twhsband.org
Do you want to get full access and be at field-level at each show? Do you want more behind the scenes insight into how the band program runs? Do you like to eat amazing food with great people at every football game? Join Pit Crew! The pit crew is responsible for the logistics of the band program- every load, unload, and staging of band and guard equipment at every football game and marching band competition! It also holds occasional workdays for prop construction, equipment storage, and other ad hoc events, usually on a weekend. The crew consists primarily of parent volunteers of band and guard members (not solely the percussion “Pit” band parents). We eat well, work hard and have a ton of fun - all are welcome!

Feed the Band foodcrew@twhsband.org
It takes a lot of effort to keep our 300+ band and guard members fueled up and ready to go! Feed the Band keeps provides meals, beverages and snacks on game days and contest trips. Helping Feed the Band on game day afternoons is a great way to get to know the kids. (It's fun to hear them practice too!) Consider volunteering for a couple of hours, once a week or once a season. Even more opportunities are available during the contest trips. We'd love to have you join us!
Lone Star Preview lonestar@twhsband.org
The Lone Star Preview marching competition is our band program's most important annual fundraiser, and an important regional event for all local marching bands in mid-October hosted by the TWHS Band Boosters. All band families are asked and expected to contribute to this event in some way. Hundreds of volunteer hours are needed in order to make this event run smoothly and be successful! Lots of information is distributed in the weeks and months leading up to the event. Volunteer jobs large and small are available - there is something for everyone. Save the date!
Uniforms uniforms@twhsband.org
It takes many hands (and washing machines!) to keep our kids looking spiffy week after week. Consider donating an hour or two to help launder uniforms. During Summer Band, the Uniform Committee needs lots of help to fit and assign uniforms; on game days, they staff the uniform room before and after games, and are on hand at games and contests to make sure the band looks as perfect as possible. They also take care of the concert band attire. It's a great way to get to know the kids! Please consider helping out...many hands make light work!
Concessions concessions@twhsband.org [Concession Schedule - HERE | Concession Signups - HERE | Concessions Forms/Info - HERE]
The Band staffs one of the big concessions stands at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion at selected performances. Volunteering at the Pavilion is a great way to meet other parents and fans, hear some great music performances, and earn money that goes directly to your band student's account! Email us for the new performance schedule, which runs April - December. This is a fun group! Hope you can join us.
Hospitality hospitality@twhsband.org
The Hospitality committee provides Directors' suppers during marching season and judges' refreshments for Region Band, as well as producing the Summer Band BBQ and organizing refreshments for our annual Chamber Music Festival in April. Contact us for details on how you can help! All are welcome!
Spirit spirit@twhsband.org
The Spirit Committee helps keep the kids hydrated and happy during summer band with popsicles every day at the end of practice. Spirit also puts together the goodie bags and sports bags for contest trips filled with luggage tags, lip balm, pom poms and more. And the year ends with our recognition of the amazing band and graduating seniors at the Band Banquet. Help and donations are always needed, so please consider volunteering!
Parents, watch your Band texts and emails for many other volunteer opportunities available throughout Summer Band and the school year!
