PLEASE READ:
Because the success of the band is largely dependent on volunteer help, our expectation is that every family contributes a minimum of six volunteer hours per band member (not including volunteer hours during the Chicagoland Invitational Concert Band Festival). Let us know which activities interest you.

Many of you are new so if you have questions before you want to commit to anything, no problem!
Please feel free to contact us at volunteers@herseyband.com.

In addition, each family will be asked to volunteer at our major fundraising event, the Chicagoland Concert Band Festival, in the spring.
A separate volunteer sheet will be sent for that event.
