In order to become a band volunteer, you must complete the Pinellas County Schools volunteer registration form. Information about volunteering in a Pinellas County School is available on the PCS volunteer webpage. 

 

Many of the band program volunteer opportunities do not require that you are a PCS level 2 volunteer. However, being a level 2 volunteer gives you a broader range of volunteer opportunities with the band. Level 2 offers additional security for our students and is required to be a PCS chaperone. For additional details regarding the level 2 volunteer, please review the PCS level 2 volunteer process.

 

If you need assistance registering to be a PCS volunteer, please contact ELHS Volunteer Coordinator, Natasha Gallaty (gallatyn@pcsb.org or 727.942.5419).
