Volunteer Needs

We Need Spirit!

We have some big shoes to fill for Spirit this year - we are hoping to divvy up the many and varied activities the Spirit Committee covers! Last fall, we had a couple people step up to take over buttons and candy grams, but there is is still a lot we need.

T-shirts in particular is an urgent need, as Band Camp shirts are needed for July, quickly followed by Tour Shirts and Senior shirts.

Note that not everything requires creativity or craft skills - for example, our Tailgate booth.

Band Camp Donations

Marching is hard work and to keep our band students energized and hydrated during their upcoming Mini Camp & Band Camp events, our awesome band families have helped out each year with their annual snacks/refreshments donation drive in May.

New this year: We've made it super easy! Instead of running to the store and then delivering bulky items to school, you can simply click the link below to order directly. All donations will be shipped straight to us!  Donation Link is Now Live:  Order Donations Here

Ordering Tips:

• For the best experience, order from a computer, not a mobile device.
• If an item is "Unavailable," do not substitute it - we’ve chosen specific items for a reason.
• Avoid selecting "Subscribe & Save" to prevent recurring deliveries.
• Avoid selecting “This item is a gift” - no need for custom messages/gift bags.  
• Prior to hitting the “Place Your Order” button, ensure “Mason Band Boosters - Mason, OH” address is selected.

Thank you for supporting our hardworking students—we couldn’t do it without you!
