CLICK HERE to sign up for Safety/Security Monitor Hours, or Soccer Concessions Hours

Come to the big band trailer to check in for Security/Safety shifts and for Soccer Concessions shifts - it's on 92nd, down past the back of the football grandstand. PLEASE ARRIVE 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF YOUR SHIFT.

Need to park so you can come volunteer? Come in the main HS entrance in front and park in the student lot, up by Durham Rd. That area is reserved for volunteers only - it's not available for folks going to the Festival.

Don't forget - you get a Festival pass for volunteering, and it's good for the whole weekend! So if your shift isn't until later in the weekend, you can still come to the big band trailer and pick up your pass. Yay!

Let's do this! 

 

Marching Band @ Tigard High School - You Should Do It!

Marching Band @ THS is the best thing! It’s music, and creating, and traveling (road trips!), and hanging out, and the best group of friends you’ll ever have! You’ll work hard and accomplish more than you ever knew you could – what a great feeling! Here’s how it works:

• Band Camp: Aug. 15 – 17 (W-F) and 20 - 24 (M-F) [9am-5pm]
• Get to know all your band friends and staff
• Learn music and drill
• Get lockers before ANYONE ELSE at Tigard High!
• Design section shirts
• Finish Band Camp with a BBQ

• Regular rehearsals: M/W 5-8:45, Aug. 27 – Oct 24

• THS Football Halftime Shows
• 9/7 vs Barlow
