It takes a village to make ZCHS Bands happen for our performers! We love when caregivers and engaged community members offer their time, energy, and talents to support. Visit the Volunteer page for more specific information. Generally, caregivers can volunteer by:
Being on pit crew = helping load and unload trucks and pushing equipment onto performance areas and off)
Being a box parent = helping get performers in and out of uniforms and offering encouragement and support on performance days)
Being involved with hospitality = helping feed these hungry performers and organizing food for events and special occasions
Being on the ZBB Board = anyone can attend a ZBB Board meeting to learn more about it, and those interested can become Board members when new positions are voted on in Spring
Being a truck driver = We have large box trucks, trailers, and even a semi trailer we need to get to every marching arts performance! We love volunteers with this skill set!

We welcome all levels of volunteering, big or small! Every volunteer makes a difference. If you can volunteer at every competition and be there all day—awesome! If you can volunteer at one competition a season—still awesome! If you can bring in food for a special event—super cool! If you can volunteer behind-the-scenes—amazing! Whether you can be a little or a lot involved, we appreciate and value you! Visit the Volunteer page for more information on how to get involved.
