Volunteer
Our program cannot function successfully without the support and involvement of the booster members. We are fortunate to have many dedicated parents who have given their time to help support our Band & Guard, but we still need to encourage more participation. All parents are encouraged to participate and volunteer at Booster fundraising events. In addition, each music program may need volunteers to help at performances or competitions.
There is an ongoing need for volunteer support for a program as big as ours at Logan. The various groups perform and travel during the entire school year and sometimes during the summer as well. Your support is important and appreciated! Through volunteering, you will get to be a part of your child's exciting band experience and gain the opportunity to get to know your fellow Boosters while supporting the organization.
We request all parents to volunteer at least 10 hours per child in Band or Color Guard.

How You Can Help:
- Attend the beginning of the parent meeting and all monthly booster meetings.
- Be a committee lead or join a committee to organize or support an activity or event.
- Volunteer to help with music program events and fundraisers. James Logan hosted events such as WBA, NCPA, and WGI regionals are significant sources of funds and require a lot of volunteers. Fundraisers such as the fireworks booth similarly require a large number of volunteers to help staff the booth. Please donate some of your time when signups are sent out.
- If you want to volunteer or have questions about how to volunteer, please contact the Booster volunteer coordinator
