We Need YOUR Help!
This year, we have some events lined up, but we can’t do it alone. If you have mad talents, skills or just a heart to help – we would love to have you on our team!
We’re looking for:
- Event Coordinators to help lead specific activities
- Volunteers to support before, during and after events
- Behind-the-scenes helpers for planning, setup, fundraising, and more!
Bringing these opportunities to our band students and community is going to be an incredible experience – and it will be event better with YOU involved!
Email gphsbandboosters@gmail.com for more details and info
We would love for you to share your photos of the Grizzly Band with us!
Your photos may be featured on our social media, and we’ll also showcase them at our end-of-year banquet.
You can share your photos by:
- sending them to us in a message on social media
- emailing them to gphsbandboosters@gmail.com
Thank you for helping us capture these special memories!
