Volunteer
Opportunities
The Battalion operates predominantly on support from volunteers. We continually have a need for volunteers to help with local rehearsals, fundraising events, touring in the summer, and more. Volunteering is a great way to meet new people who share your passion for the arts and support our mission to help youths in our community develop character, leadership skills, artistry, selflessness, and spirituality. We welcome all who are interested in supporting The Battalion. Check out some of the current volunteer opportunities listed below, and let us know if you're interested in joining The Battalion Volunteer Team!
If you're interested in either a paid or volunteer position, please fill out our Interest Form.
Grant Writing/Sponsorships
If you have business development or grant writing experience, we would love to utilize your expertise. We are still working to complete our capital campaign for instruments and acquire all of the assets needed to help the corps be successful in perpetuity.
Registration
Registration volunteers help with check-in activities prior to rehearsals or other events. You would assist the Corps Director in checking in the members, collecting paperwork, medical information, providing name badges and any other registration needs.
Sewing Crew
Sewing Crew volunteers help with uniform measurements, fittings and alterations during our Spring Training. On tour, sewing volunteers handle uniform alterations, repairs and maintenance on a daily basis. They would also be in charge of laundering uniforms on tour when scheduled.
Food Services
Food service volunteers provide food service to the members, staff, and volunteers. At rehearsals, food is often prepared off site and brought in to
serve. While on tour, meals will be prepared on site. Duties include food preparation, serving and meal cleanup. Food is served to 100-180 people depending on the sections attending
camp (brass, percussion, etc.). Food volunteers who sign up to help on tour
will travel with The Battalion caravan
on our tour.
Equipment Transportation
Drivers help transport the equipment trailers on tour. We need a CDL driver
for our equipment truck. Our Mobile Kitchen is a 32' bumper pull trailer.
This only requires a standard drivers license, and we ask that you have a
clean driving record.
Local Staff and Student Transportation
Local transportation volunteers would
help with transporting out-of-town members or staff between the airport
or bus terminal, to a local camp or
housing site. Based on the number of
out-of-state people who need transportation, a schedule is arranged
for these volunteers with a list of members/staff and their travel information/contact info.
