Usher at a concert, donate reception refreshments, set-up/clean-up for special events, fundraise, chaperone a trip, gather program ads, give an hour or lead a committee, your time is valuable and appreciated.

What does volunteering for ASOA look like?

Usher at a Concert - Stand at the auditorium doors before a concert, welcoming concert goers and handing out programs. Help people to their seats if needed.

Ticket Sales - Check off those who purchased tickets online or sell tickets at the door prior to concerts that require them such as Bone-Anza and POPS.

Set-up/Clean-up for Special Events - Arrive early to help set up tables, decorate, or fold programs. Or if it works better you can stay late to help clean-up afterwards.

Spiritwear - Help our spiritwear chair set-up and sell merchandise before, during, and after concerts or other special events. Then help them clean up afterwards. 

Donate Reception Refreshments - Sign up to donate water, fruit, cheese and crackers, cookies, brownies, paper goods, or anything else that is requested. 

Reach out to Local Businesses to Place Ads in Programs - Choose businesses from a provided list or reach out to others you know to ask if they will place an ad in our POPS Concert Program.

Chaperone a Trip - Join our students and directors as they travel to perform at competitions or festivals.

Chair a Committee or Event - Be in charge of a committee that is part of a bigger event such as flowers, reception, spiritwear, ticket sales, or the program. If you have more time, take on the overall planning of an entire event like our Bone-Anza, POPS, or Concerto Concerts.

Join our ASOA Board - Volunteer to be president, vice president, secretary, assistant treasurer, or treasurer.
