The Concessions & Hospitality Committee helps support concession operations and hospitality needs during events, games, fundraisers, and program activities.
This committee supports:
- Concession stand planning
- Food and drink coordination
- Inventory support
- Setup and cleanup
- Volunteer staffing
- Hospitality for events
- Safe food handling expectations
This is a great fit for volunteers who enjoy fast-paced teamwork, customer service, and event support.
Why Concessions Matter So Much
Concessions aren’t “just selling snacks.” It’s one of the most powerful fundraisers we have for The Red Jukebox of Sound.
Every game, hundreds of people pass through the stadium. When they buy food and drinks, that money goes straight back into our students: covering fees for families who need help, feeding the band on long game days and travel, and investing in instruments so more students can join. The margin on concessions adds up quickly over a season in a way that most one-time fundraisers simply can’t.
Why We Need More Volunteers
To make the most of this opportunity, we need more hands behind the counter.
When only a small group of parents and boosters run concessions, they miss their student’s performances, get exhausted, and eventually burn out. If we have a larger pool of volunteers, we can create short shifts and rotations so everyone can:
-
Work one part of the night and still see their student perform
-
Share the workload instead of carrying it all season
-
Keep the stand fully staffed so we never have to turn away sales
More volunteers mean more open windows, faster lines, and more revenue for the band—without asking anyone family to sacrifice every Friday night.
The Bottom Line
If you want to make a real, visible difference for our students, working concessions is one of the highest-impact ways to do it. A couple of hours behind the counter each game helps keep band accessible to all students, keeps them fed and supported on the road, and helps The Red Jukebox of Sound continue to grow in size and sound.
