The Seminole High School Band Aides Boosters in coordination with the Florida Federation of Colorguards will host the Annual Seminole Visual Spectacular Competition on Saturday, March 4th, at the Seminole High School gym.  We are counting on a full house at Visual this year so we will need ‘all hands on deck’ to make this another successful event.

•  All volunteers need to wear their orange "SHOW HOST" shirts or the green SHS band boosters polo and khaki pants or shorts. Wear comfortable shoes.

•  Volunteers are not given free admission to the show unless they have volunteered/worked for eight hours or more

•  Volunteers get a meal ticket(s) for every 4 hours that they work:

◦                     1 shift = 0 meal tickets

◦                     2 shifts = 1 meal ticket

◦                     3 shifts = 2 meal tickets

◦                     4 shifts = 3 meal tickets

There are many areas we could use help.  Please see below for signups:

We still need one more Stand Worker for this Saturday's game. This can be an adult or a student 16+ and Centerplate is allowing an untrained worker for this game only. Please take a look at the schedule!
