CPMC Fall Chaperones:
Games, Competitions, and Events

Chaperones: Please sign up for chaperoning our band and guard for away football games, home football games and for band competitions and other events.

Band and Guard chaperoning is a unique and wonderful way to positively impact and support a very hard-working, talented and dedicated group of performers.

Chaperones might also assist with the timed movement of instruments, equipment and props on and off the field and back to the trucks.

Chaperones supervise uniform management pre and post event; communicate performer injuries and/or illness to the Band Director(s); accompany kids to and from their field or event destination or to rest-rooms and generally ensure the safety, health and welfare of our Red Raider performers.

We recommend encouraging your fellow band parents , awaiting picking up their band and guard performers at the end of an event, to hop out of their cars to lend a hand.

Home Games: Home game chaperoning requirements include pre and post-game uniform management, sitting in the stands with the performers; possibly participating in the timed movement of equipment, instruments and props on and off the field for the performance. Chaperones may be tasked with guarding the instruments in the stands while the band is on their break. Chaperones may be called upon to accompany groups of performers to the rest-rooms. Chaperones will also supervise post-game clean up of stands and accompanying the band and guard back to the band room for instrument and uniform management and dismissal of students once ALL tasks are complete.

Away Games & Competitions: Away games & Competition chaperoning requirements include pre and post-game uniform management, bag checking (making sure they have their gloves, all parts of their uniform, their chickens & their dinkles), supervision of bus-loading, distribution of snacks and cases of water, taking attendance and ensuring presence of all participants; sitting in the stands with the performers, may include participating in the timed movement of equipment, instruments and props on and off the field for the performance.
