AMERIS CONCERTS CONCESSIONS - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
It’s that time of year again when the Roswell Band parents prepare to put on that incredibly attractive red polyester shirt and work concessions to support the band programs!
Returning parents may already be aware that volunteering at the concession stands at Amerisbank Amphitheatre is our largest annual fundraiser. This fast-paced work offers a fun opportunity to connect with other band parents while supporting our students. Plus, you’ll often get to enjoy some great music for free! We hope you’ll consider volunteering for a few shifts this year.
The concert/volunteer season runs from late April through October
Volunteer signups are currently posted through June (check back regularly as new concerts are added) – SIGN UP HERE
Each shift earns a $40 credit for your student's band fees account
We especially need parents willing to get a pour license through the city of Alpharetta (cost is $50 - let us know if you're interested) – APPLY FOR YOUR LICENSE HERE
You do not need to be a band parent to volunteer, but you must be 18
A mandatory volunteer training for safe alcohol service will be held at RHS on May 12 (details coming soon!)
We ask that each family volunteers for 4 (or more) shifts over the course of the season
All volunteers need to fill out a waiver and upload it to the Ameris portal. PRINT WAIVER HERE then upload it HERE
