Davidson Band

2022 Nationwide Children’s Superhero Run

We are definitely in the thick of planning our race and we would LOVE your help to make this event a success. (If you do not know what this event is, please ask your student about the presentation they heard in class!) There are 3 main ways you could be of help to us. First is spreading the word and getting people excited about our race. Feel free to like and follow us on Social Media. Second would be to donate to our race – every dollar counts! We will be spitting our profits with a wonderful local non-profit organization called Orphan World Relief, a team doing wonderful things around the world for children in need. Lastly would be to sponsor our race at the business level. If you or someone you know would be interested in that, please see below for details as well! Thanks everyone.

The directors send frequent emails with the most pressing and upcoming information pertinent to Marching Band. If you are not getting those emails please reach out to a director ASAP. Those emails are our primary source of information for parents, but please also be in the habit of checking in with your student to receive announcements shared at rehearsals.

Parent Volunteering

There are so many opportunities to get involved and support the band program as a parent volunteer. The largest area of need is our concessions team that runs both the home and visitors concession stand throughout the entire fall athletic season. This includes all football and soccer games (4 days a week until mid-November). It is a huge undertaking that requires over 400 volunteering shifts, but profits between $20,000-$30,000 each season.

Please see our Music Booster page to get involved and reach out to the lead parents in any area of interest.

***Note- in order to volunteer, you must have a Volunteer Badge approved by the Hilliard School District. It costs $17 and is good for 3 years. Apply for that badge here: https://www.hilliardschools.org/schools/volunteer/.
