Disneyland Trip Coordinator – We Need YOU!

Big news! Our band is heading to Disneyland for spring break 2027!

To make this magical trip a success, we’re looking for a parent volunteer to serve as our Big Trip Coordinator. This role involves mostly administrative work in the months leading up to the trip, and then serving as the primary volunteer coordinator during the trip itself. As a thank-you for your time and effort, the coordinator’s trip costs will be covered… a pretty great perk!!

If you’re organized, enthusiastic, and want to play a key role in creating an unforgettable experience for our GP Band students, we’d love to hear from you! This is a nomination round, so no commitment just yet… just raise your hand and let us know you’re interested!
