Volunteer Opportunities

The success of the Panther Band is greatly dependent on the dedication and efforts of parent volunteers. Throughout the year there are numerous activities and events that require support from the volunteers. Most band parents find supporting the band to be a tremendously rewarding experience. If you are interested in helping the band, a list of the volunteer opportunities is provided below.

In addition to the listed volunteer requirements, the band can use people who have special talents such as video recording/photography, art, carpentry, etc. Also, if you have contacts with people or businesses that can provide useful products and services for the band such as food items, soft drinks, paper goods, silent auction items, local hotel and travel arrangements for out of town guest music performer/clinician, etc.

Fundraising

Colleyville Heritage High School Band Program offers many opportunities to our students to enrich their musical studies. In the fall our program is focused on the Marching Band, Drumline and Color Guard. Events include football games, marching competitions, drumline competitions, parades, concerts and other special events. In the winter and spring, we transition to Concert Band and Jazz Band performances. Events include concert and percussion performances, Jazz Band competitions, Winterguard competitions, our spring band trip and the Band Banquet. To support all these activities, the Band Booster organization conducts numerous fundraising events throughout the year. A summary of the fundraising activities is provided below.

Our largest fundraiser, the Band Extravaganza, occurs at the beginning of the school year. It consists of a dinner, silent auction and the first performance by the Marching Band.

The Band Boosters receive funding by operating the concession stands at home football games (freshman, JV and varsity) and for other special events held at the stadium.

CHHS usually hosts a U.I.L. event each year and the Band Boosters operate a concession stand for these events.

CHHS hosts one of the largest Winterguard competitions in North Texas each year. This event generates significant revenue through ticket sales and concessions.

Throughout the year, various fundraising sales are supported by the Band Boosters. These include sales of cookie dough, pies and other similar items. Individual band students sell the products and the proceeds are usually assigned to a specific account for the student.

The Drumline and Color Guard conduct fundraisers such as car washes, tips from Sonic fundraisers, drum-a-thons and other similar events. Proceeds are used to support specific activities for the Drumline and Color Guard.

The Band Boosters operate a Spirit concession stand at various events, selling T-shirts, sweatshirts and other band related items.
