Hello Fort Mill High School Band Parents!!!

 

Please allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Laura Thompson, Amber Mumford and Sherry Holcomb and we are the co-chairs for Fort Mill HS Band Camp this year. We would love to give you a little information about camp. As you've already heard, there are lots of ways to help!!!!

 

All the volunteer opportunities below are great ways to get involved directly with the students and will allow you first hand interaction with the students to provide them the support they need, encouragement, etc. Isn't that what we are here for - helping them "Be The Best They Can Be"?

• Wednesday 8/05: 8:30 am - Noon

Chaperones are needed to be outside with the students while they practice. Volunteers can work the whole time or part of the time, whichever fits your schedule best. We set up tents, keep water supplied and give general assistance to band students (It gets hot!!).
