VOLUNTEERING

How can you help the Wekiva High School Marching Mustangs?

​We need you to help make your child's experience a fun and rewarding time with the Wekiva Marching Mustangs. There are many opportunities to help and they range from helping concessions at home games and chaperoning events to hemming uniforms and fixing equipment.  Some must be done at the high school or competitions and others can be done from home.  The added bonus is that you get to make new, adult friends with some very wonderful people who share some of the same passions you do - you kids. 

  If you are interested in helping the band in some way, please fill out the form below and a band parent will contact you to see how you can contribute to your kids' time with the band. And don't forget, volunteering can help you lessen the cost of your child's band dues as well.  We hope to see you soon!  Thank you for your consideration.
