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, but should be available during rehearsal on show days
(unless 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 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. Additionally, the
music boosters usually have a table near
the stadium entrance by the home
stands and have a wide selection of
STHS related items for sale.
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 or Mrs. Markovitz. Monetary donations are not accepted
through the website, although I can certainly help you to get in contact
with the right people.
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. If you would like to be a runner or help with equipment,
please see a staff member or truck crew member right away. Even if you can't make every performance,
your help would still be appreciated! Better yet, just show up ready to
work :)
Contribute
to the Site
The STHS Bands Website
is operated and is maintained almost entirely through the personal efforts
of the webmaster. All photo work is now done digitally so I do not
have a need for film or 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. 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.
If you're really
motivated or really like what you see and to defray my costs for
new/upgraded equipment, check out my
equipment wish lists for
B&H Photo-Video,
and
NewEgg.com. I also offer photographic
services, prints, albums and
other special order albums and may occasionally make special items available
for sale during special events.
Service related issues and contributions will be reviewed on an individual
basis, but if you can afford the contract for a T1 or Metro Ethernet
service or have an extra desk in your office with a T1 connection that I can
use for post production work after events, let me know :)
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.
