There is always something we can use an extra hand with.

Ways to help
Ways to help
CONCESSIONS
CONCESSIONS
The PBO runs the concessions at Lake Hamilton sporting events to earn revenue that we then turn around and invest back into the band program. We are regularly in need of both students and parents to volunteer and fill this need.
FEEDING THE BAND
FEEDING THE BAND
The PBO has a "Fuel the Band' campaign which raises funds from local businesses to feed the performers each week during rehearsals and competitions.
This campaign earned the Power Band a Silver Award for the Music For All 2020 Music Advocacy in Action Award.
PROP HELP
PROP HELP
With programs competing in both the fall and spring semesters, the band is typically looking for help with props all year long.
No matter your skills or limitations, there's usually a job anyone can do—from building & painting to assembling & pushing.
LOCAL EVENTS
LOCAL EVENTS
Each year the Lake Hamilton High School hosts the Power Band Classic Invitational and Regional Marching Assessments. The PBO also hosts a chili diner each November which serves as both a fundraiser and a send-off for students before they leave for Grand Nationals in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Each event requires numerous volunteers to assist with concessions, admissions, merchandising, hospitality, parking, and much more.
ASSISTING WITH UNIFORMS
ASSISTING WITH UNIFORMS
The band kids wear many hats (figuratively) while working and performing with the band program, but they wear several uniforms, too, and help is always needed and appreciate to keep them 'dressed for success'.
Volunteers helping with uniforms may fill a variety of roles, whether it's swapping out jacket fronts, issuing gloves, sewing stirrups on bibbers, or locating a loan for items a student may have forgotten at home.
BAND OFFICE ASSISTANCE
BAND OFFICE ASSISTANCE
Occasionally the band office will put out a call for help looking for volunteers to help with needs such as filing and organizing or entering payments and receipts and matching them to student records to make sure band dues and fees are up-to-date and in order.
TRIP CHAPERONEs
TRIP CHAPERONEs
The Power Band is accustomed to taking major trips. Each year the Power Band competes at Bands of America Grand Nationals in Lucas Oil Stadium every November. The Winter Winds travels to Dayton, Ohio each April for WGI World Championships. The Power Band has also previously participated in Disney World's Magic Kingdom parade in Orlando, Florida.
Each of these trips require several chaperones not only for student supervision and welfare, but to help keep the students fed and cared for as well.
