99 Pledges Band-A-Thon Campaign is Active!
Parking attendants direct spectators to designated parking locations and collect parking fees. As our first contact with visitors, this is an important job. We ensure those who serve in this area are fed, hydrated and given breaks on a regular basis. Please know that all parking volunteers will still be able to see the Brunswick Marching Blue Devils perform at the end of the night.
The pie tent is literally a tent where we sell pies (apple, pumpkin, berry, peach, etc.). Volunteers pre-cut the pies & package them in plastic triangular containers. On the day of the event, volunteers sell them per slice or as "whole" pies (6 slices). Pie tent volunteers are close to the action and get first dibs on pie tasting!
Concessions are where we offer visitors quick service food and drinks (hot dogs, soda, chips, etc.). Volunteer stations inside the concession stand include: taking orders and managing a cash drawer, running orders and making food. For more concessions information, click on this link.
Stadium Hosts help manage our spectators in accordance with OMEA regulations. They are stationed in the home stands throughout the performances and lock ropes that bar entering or exiting the stands during performances while helping visitors with questions. Stadium hosts have a front-row seat to all band performances!
The Hospitality Area is where we offer bus drivers and visiting bands a place to rest before and after performances. We typically use the High School cafeteria or Home Economics room and furnish it with food, coffee and water. Hospitality hosts help ensure the area stays clean and replenish food and beverages as needed. Volunteers in this area get free food and beverages!
This is where we sell event tickets and programs from the ticket booth inside Brunswick Automart Stadium. Volunteers in this area greet visitors, answer questions, collect money/process credit card transactions for admission and distribute programs. Volunteers in this area stay warm and dry!
The home press box serves as the command center for our visiting OMEA staff who conduct the competition. We provide them with resources to assist with managing the competition and handle various details. This also includes going up and down the stadium stairs multiple times to collect and deliver the field judges score sheets.
Volunteers in these roles are responsible for leading the set-up & clean-up effort and guiding other adults and students in the tasks to be completed.
Greet our visiting bands, assist them with check-in process and assign them to student "guides".
Greet our volunteers, answer questions, assist with communications to area leads and direct them to the location(s) where they will be volunteering.
