The HHSBPA is in need of the following:

 

Board of Directors Position:

 

Concert Uniforms Co-Chair or Assistant -- is responsible for managing the uniforms worn by the students during their concerts throughout the year. The Concert Uniforms Co-Chair or Assistant works with the Concert Uniforms Chair, oversees fittings during the week of band camp, tuxedo shirt orders in September, taking uniforms that need alterations into the tailor, and the cleaning and storage of the concert uniforms at the end of the school year. No sewing experience is necessary. Dry cleaning and alteration costs are paid for by the band program. The Concert Uniforms Co-Chair is a voting member of the HHSBPA band board (in conjunction with the Concert Uniforms Chair) and attends meetings once a month (usually held the 2nd Monday evening of the month).

 
About 2-4 hours are needed between May and June (as the uniforms are cleaned and returned), 12 hours the week of band camp (while fittings go on during 4 evenings), 3-4 hours between Sept-Oct doing a few additional fittings and ordering tux shirts, then being there with the students before concerts to make sure uniforms are correct. Parent volunteers assist with uniform fittings, collection, and organization after they are returned from the dry cleaners.
