The Pit Crew is looking for some volunteers to help out the band. 

The Pit Crew is the group of parents that assists the band by loading the bus and moving the stationary instruments into position on the field for performances.  When you volunteer with the Pit Crew, you get to feel like you are part of the band.  Not only do you get to know the students that are playing in the Pit, you get to watch the band up close and personal from the sidelines.  You do not need to be at every game and competition to volunteer. However, we do ask that when you are part of the Pit, you need to dress like the Pit Crew at all competitions.  Our uniform is an official "Pit Crew" shirt (short sleeve, long sleeve or fleece) that you can purchase from Initial Encounter in Pequannock with tan khaki pants.  Attached is an order form for you to fill out and take to Initial Encounters.

Tom Rogan has volunteered to be our "Pit Boss" this year.  He will coordinate the parent volunteers to make sure that we have enough parents at each event.  Generally, the Pit Crew parents will be assigned to move the same instrument for each performance so that they know exactly where to place the instrument.  It is not a difficult job to do and it very rewarding.

For every search that is done through GOODSEARCH, the PTHS Band Parents Association receives a penny.  While that may not sound like a lot it, it adds up quick.  We have about 85 families in the band.   If each member of your family did just 1 search a day for a year, we would raise over $1250 for the band.

When you enter the site: Select under "Who do you search for" type in Pequannock High School Band Parents.  Once you enter it, if your computer accepts cookies, it will be there every time you go to the Good Search page.
