The thing that is the most important and requires the least effort is to always buy show tickets through us.  All ticket sales benefit the band directly and are essential in covering travel and equipment repair expenses among other things.  Tickets can usually be purchased 2 weeks in advance, and are available during rehearsal on show days until they are sold out.  Sorry, tickets can not be purchased or reserved online.

Another easy way to help is to participate in the various fundraisers.  The boosters may conduct sales during football games or throughout the year, especially for uniform cleaning costs and to help students fund trips.  Fundraisers, booster materials and merchandise are not available for purchase online, but I will try to at least post a notice of any current sales or events as the information comes my way.

Help is always needed to get the band through the season.  This includes sewing flags, building and moving props, helping with food on show weekends, and other tasks.  Monetary donations will go toward the expenses of the band including materials for uniforms and flags, props, instrument and equipment maintenance and repair, and other things.  If you would like to help with the band or make a donation, please see a staff member at rehearsal or use the "Contact Us" page to contact Mr. Perbetsky.  Monetary donations are not accepted through the website, although I can certainly help you to get in contact with the right people.  The music boosters also fund annual scholarships for senior music students.  These scholarships are funded through donations at events and concerts and any contributions are greatly appreciated.

Equipment crew members and runners are recruited as early in the season as possible, but helpers are always needed, even if you can't make every game or show. 

The STHS Bands Website is operated and is maintained almost entirely through the personal efforts of the webmaster.  Almost all photo work is now done digitally but I am still interested in specialized film/photo developing services.  I would appreciate any help from individuals wishing to serve as photographers/videographers, or anyone interested in submitting prints or digital/scanned photographs or videos.  Camera phone uploads are accepted as well, please make sure they are appropriate for the site and send them to any of the Google voice numbers listed on the contact page.  I would be especially appreciative to anyone who could submit photos and information for shows or years not covered on the site, donate commercial or non commercial videos or video clips of the band, and send me news clippings and Football Friday features. 

Since I am not paid to operate the site, the easiest thing you can do for me is to buy photos and videos of the various events that I photograph.  Additional information and pricing is available in the photo gallery area.  I also offer photographic services, prints, albums and other special order albums and may occasionally make photos and/or other items available for sale during special events.  If there is something you are looking for or have a special request for a photo or video, or want me at a certain event, chances are I can make it happen.  The professional equipment used in the production of the site is rather costly, and technologies are rapidly growing in cost and complexity along with the demands and commitments required for a project this size.  If you're really motivated or really like what you see and want to defray my costs for new/upgraded equipment, check out my equipment and supplies wish lists for B&H Photo-Video.

Service related issues and contributions will be reviewed on an individual basis, but if you have an extra desk in your office with a T1, metro ethernet or other commercial high speed service that I can use for post production work after events, let me know.  High quality wireless/cellular broadband services would also be helpful as I may be able to post content while waiting around at or traveling to/from shows.

Content submissions are always welcome and are greatly appreciated and encouraged. I would prefer that monetary donations go to the music boosters first, but if you would like to contribute toward the operation of the site, please contact me.  Thank you.
