To volunteer at any CPHS Band Event, in any role, you must be an
approved Leander ISD Volunteer. The approval process is easy and only

Also remember, that if you are a returning volunteer, you must
re-submit your volunteer application as a returning volunteer. The
application is only good for a single school year and all current
applications expired on June 30, 2010. You can re-register beginning on

The 2010 fall marching season is packed full of
action with
many events including LISD Band Night, Lock In,10 regular season
football games
– two of them are even on TV, marching contests, a trip to
Indianapolis for
Grand Nationals and much more. Mike Haecker, Booster
Vice President is
responsible for the chaperones at all events and welcomes your
participation.
Riding to the game on a yellow dog has several advantages; you get fed,
free
admission into the game and you don’t have to remember where you
parked. The
contests can provide an opportunity to ride in a luxury coach to far
away
destinations. For a couple of lucky chaperones at each game will have
an
opportunity to view the band from on the field. The only way to do that
is to
be a chaperone.
The excitement of Texas
high school football is in the air, and that means our very talented
marching
band will be on the move beginning August 27th. Even greater excitement
begins
in October when competitive marching shifts into full gear.
Chaperones ride on the buses with the band; work
in the
stands and remain with the band until dismissal upon return to the high
school.
Only chaperones, students and staff are permitted on the buses with the
band or
to sit with the band.
A game night goes something like this: The
chaperones meet
in the cafeteria for a bite to eat with the band and then have a
pre-game
briefing. After the briefing we board the buses for an on-time
departure. Times
may vary event to event. Prior to each game/event chaperones will be
notified of
their report time via email. *All
chaperones must be an approved LISD volunteer*.
The Vice President of
the boosters does all of the scheduling for the chaperones. The
schedules are
built based on the information that is collected on registration night.
Parents
should check their calendars and have some idea of availability when
they come
to register their band members. Do not
trade assignments with a friend or spouse. All changes need to be
cleared
through the VP. Some chaperones have special assignments and we need to
make
sure those functions are covered.
