Because the proceeds from the concession stand benefit each and every band member at Naperville
Central High School (not just the extracurricular bands), we are asking that each band family do
their part to help out in the concession stand.
There are approximately 100 events yearly, requiring, on average, four volunteers per event. As you
can imagine, trying to find volunteers to cover all of these events is a huge challenge for our
concessions team. There are over 250 band students enrolled in the various programs at Naperville
Central. If one member from each student's family would volunteer to work three concession events
per year (or more, if you really enjoy it), the challenge of staffing would virtually disappear!
In addition, to be considered for an NCHS Band Scholarship, you or a member of your family must
participate in a minimum of three fundraising events per year. We encourage each and every NCHS band
student to do their part in helping staff the concession stand. This is a great opportunity to help
your band, and for you juniors and seniors, volunteering looks great on that college application!
For those of you who have never worked in the concession stand, our concessions coordinators will
give you a training session to walk you through all the procedures. It is not difficult at all! We
will also make every effort to schedule experienced volunteers with "rookies." In addition,
one or all of the concessions team is just a phone call away if you have questions or problems while
working your shift.
We have placed the indoor athletic schedule on the website Concessions Calendar. Please take a look
at this schedule and choose a date that you would be available to work. Please remember that once
you sign up for a date and it is confirmed, we count on you to be there. Our scheduling volunteer
will contact you by e-mail or phone (whichever you prefer) a few days before the event to confirm
that you will be there.
If something should come up and you cannot work your scheduled date, PLEASE call or e-mail us
immediately -- at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled event -- so we will have time to find a
replacement for you. This is a very time-consuming process, so your consideration in this regard is
greatly appreciated!
The start times posted on the Concessions Calendar are generally 30 minutes prior to the beginning
of the scheduled event. (i.e., for events that begin at 5:00 p.m., setup begins at 4:30 p.m.) We
realize that some people cannot be at the school that early for setup. Please advise us if you will
have problems with this starting time and we will make every effort to accommodate you!
Please be aware that each shift, unless indicated otherwise, is from setup through the end of the
scheduled event (i.e., through the end of the meet, game, etc.).
