Volunteer Opportunities
Our band relies heavily on family volunteers to accomplish our goals, and we can't thank you all enough for your support! No previous experience necessary for any jobs. Opportunities include helping with uniform fittings, donations of food and water throughout the season, helping our pit percussion on and off the field at performances (comes with a VIP sideline seat to the show!), and helping distribute and return uniforms at games.

We will not have performance times until we are closer, but please reserve these dates on your calendars! Each missing person will be a hole on the field, and we want to make sure we represent Liberty with the full might and pride of the Lightning Marching Band.
Corridor Marching Classic
We will need LOTS of volunteers to help this event run smoothly - mark your calendars now, and stayed tuned for opportunities to help out!
