If this is your first time volunteering with us this school year, please complete the MISD Volunteer Background Check https://www.mansfieldisd.org/parents-students/campus-volunteers, select Begin the Application Process, and then select Lake Ridge to start the application.
Truck Loaders and Unloaders- Volunteers will meet at Lake Ridge and help load the truck for football games and contests. You will ride in the truck with the truck drivers and help load and unload the trucks with the students.
Bus Chaperones – Volunteers will ride the buses to and from the event with the students. You will be required to take attendance when you get on the bus at LRHS and again when loading the buses for the return trip. You will need to sit near the band during the event and help with any chaperone needs such as taking the students to the restroom. Please be advised that you may not be on the same bus as your child. Meet in the band hall no later than 5:00 to get bus assignments and rosters. We will begin loading buses at 5:40 (Times subject to change)
F3 Meals- Volunteers should arrive at LRHS between 3:45 -and 4:00. Please go through the band hall and directly to the cafeteria. Shannon Meister will be your contact. Please come early.
Photographer – Volunteers will take pictures of the LRHS Band during their performance and in the stands. These pictures will need to be uploaded to our LRHS Band Smug Mug account. Videographer – Volunteers will video the LRHS Band during their performance. (Can be the same person, if needed)
Water/Snacks at the game – Volunteers will hand out water and snacks to the LRHS band students after their performance. The location to hand out water and snacks will be behind the scoreboard on the south end of the football field at Newsome Stadium. As the band comes off the field, they will head to the stands and pick these items up along the way.
Flip Tub Handlers – Volunteers will carry the flip tubs onto the field at halftime and then remove them from the field after the LRHS band has dropped their flip folders into them. The location of the flip tub will be explained at the game.
Plumes- Volunteers will help Maria Miller place plumes into the students’ shako hats. Gloves will be provided and must be worn when handling the plumes.
Movers: Ensemble and Drum Major Podiums/ Ladders – Volunteers will assist in getting equipment onto the field and into position, then removed after the performance. Front podiums should be set up on the front sideline on each 35-yard line. The back podium should be set up on the back sideline on the far side (the side furthest from the main video scoreboard) on the 35-yard line. The percussion students will aid in showing you where to help place their instruments.
Uniforms: Uniform helpers need to arrive at the school about 10 minutes before the bus returns from the contest and they are scheduled to return after games and contests. Times are subject to change. Maria Miller will give you instructions on how to inspect the uniforms.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
