Big shout out to everyone who showed up this past weekend! I cannot believe the turnout, you all are amazing! We've completed almost all of the building of props, and we've had an outstanding team decorating the coral reefs so far, they look fantastic!

We will be holding Build Days every Saturday throughout August to make sure everything is set to go for Parent Preview night on September 7th. So if you have a few free hours, come on out and sling some paint with us!

Volunteers Needed!

We need volunteers for our first game! This is the best way to get to know the kids and other parents. Plus, you get into the game for free! We need help with concessions, chaperones, traffic control, setting up drum major stands, moving equipment, and more. We also have several volunteer opportunities at The Bowl at Sugar Hill. Find opportunities here: https://app.boosterhub.com/volunteer

See the Gin Blossoms!

We still have volunteer spots open for setup and breakdown for the Gin Blossoms concert this weekend! Volunteers who are signed up on BoosterHub will get a ticket to see the Gin Blossoms! Volunteer here: https://app.boosterhub.com/volunteer
