Volunteer Opportunities
We still have many open positions for the concession stand and a few spots open to help with parking. View volunteer opportunities here. Please note that you can only gain free admittance to the competition if you are signed up to help. Everyone who is signed up to help will receive wristbands for free entrance to the competition and without a wristband you must pay. There are a few job positions that are not on the signups, and in those cases you must notify Heather for approval and to be put on the list of volunteers.

Tickets
Tickets are now available for purchase online. View ticket information here.
Truck Crew Help Needed
This Friday Carlisle travels to State College and truck crew help is needed! Help is also needed Thursday night at the end of rehearsal to load trucks.
For anyone interested in following the buses and equipment trucks we are planning on leaving around 3:30 PM on Friday. The lay of the land at State College requires extra help to get pit equipment up and down a very steep hill. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help. Contact Tim at projects@carlislehighschoolband or 717-512-6988 if you have any questions.
Weekend Updates
Friday night is our first home game of the season. Students need to report by 4:30 PM to the band area. Because of the uncertain weather forecast students need to bring both their summer uniform as well as be prepared to wear the normal uniform.
Saturday practice is from 10 AM – 4 PM. Students need to bring a lunch.
Band Booster Meeting
The next monthly band booster meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 11, 2018 at 6 PM in the band area. Everyone is invited to attend the meeting; hope to see you there!
Friday Night Football Game
Our band students NEED YOUR HELP! Friday is the first football game of the season and we are in desperate need of help. We currently do not have enough people to even staff one concession stand. PLEASE consider helping with one of the band’s biggest and easiest fundraisers; do it for the kids! Click here for more information and to view our signups.
