Just got the list of events that we're REQUIRED to work for Marching Band. Good god... do they think that I have nothing better to do than spend the summer/fall working concession stands?! We have to do the following...
6 Dayton Dragon games.... I volunteered to work the bar but I'll be wrapping weiners instead.
2 Varsity Football games.... volunteered to be a cheerleader ( apparently they have a weight limit for those uniforms now. =P ). So I'll be wrapping weiners there too!
Clean up after 2 Football games.... I know how much shit we leave behind in the bleachers... NO WAY in hell am I cleaning up everyone else's shit. So my plan is to hide until it's all done. ;)
Work the band premiere... this entailed from parking busses to selling baked goods to wrapping weiners. I don't have the best track record parking so the busses are out. I would love to work the bake sale but I think they're afraid I'll eat all the Rice Krispie treats. ;) And I really don't want to wrap weiners anymore than I have to. So I'll be working the ticket gate... hidden motive here... I'll let all my friends and family in for free! haha
Soccer games... concession stand again! Good god!
2 playoff games...schedule to be determined at a later date. Yes... I have NOTHING better to do than to be at their beck and call to run up there and wrap weiners!
There was also mention of basketball games, car washes, flower sale...blah blah blah. Some of these are optional... who in their right freakin mind would want to sing up for even more stuff!
Brooke is also going to cheer this year which will require us to work a few of those games as well. Oh goody!
Now you would think with all of these things that you are REQUIRED to volunteer for that you wouldn't have to pay to be in the band... yea right! I still have to cough out $800 a year for this and that's just band fees. Doesn't include all the money she'll need for games, contests, etc. Doesn't include tickets for us to go to all these things, food, etc. So basically I'm really getting screwed here. lol

HOLY SHIT! If I can cover any of those for you let me know! Brookes stuff too!
Wow I can't believe how much it has changed. They never used to require you live in the concession stand!
Well who said you would ever have a life after kids...it was my understanding that I don't get mine back until sometime after they get done with college...LOL
Seriously though--that sounds like a heck of a lot to do AND then to also have to pay that much...maybe they'll just take an extra check in lieu of the volunteer hours ;)
