GET INVOLVED

TRADITION needs your help! In order to maintain our tradition of excellence, we depend heavily on the support of volunteers and Interns. Every year, parents, alumni, and other community members help make TRADITION’s success possible by donating their time and expertise to the organization in various ways. Many volunteers travel with the corps and have the opportunity to experience drum corps first hand and attend competitions free of charge. Others help out while we’re near their home area, or stop by on a rehearsal weekend. Whatever way can help, your assistance is crucial to our success.

This summer, we’re looking for help in the following areas

Food Crew

TRADITION would like to provide meals on rehearsal and competition days for approximately 128 members, staff, drivers, and volunteers. We want to stand up a foodservice crew to prepare and serve meals. All food wood be prepared onsite. A crew of 3-5 volunteers (or more!) at a time is needed to adequately staff the food crew. No cooking experience or expertise is required.

Merchandise Sales

Everywhere TRADITION travels, our merchandise travels with us, selling TRADITION merchandise to fans and supporters. The corps needs at least two (2) people to attend performances throughout the season to sell merchandise at every show.

Medical Proffesional

Are you a nurse, doctor, or other medical professional? If so, we need your help in dealing with the minor injuries and illnesses that members experience during rehearsals. Nurses and doctors who can be with us on the road for a few days or on rehearsal weekend willing to provide services to students when we’re in their home area.

Sewing Crew

Our uniforms require alterations and mending throughout the season. We need 2-3 people at a time to keep our uniforms in top shape for performances.

Prop Crew

A few hours of your time can make a huge difference when we’re rehearsing or staging for a performance.
