October Band Booster Meeting

Please join us for our monthly band booster meeting in the NPHS Band Room this Thursday, October 1st at 7:30pm. We will discuss the upcoming 51st Annual New Philadelphia Field Competition as well as other topics.

New Philadelphia Field Competition Volunteers: Saturday October 24th

The New Philadelphia Marching Quaker Band will be hosting the 51st annual Field Competition on Saturday October 24th. 17 bands with approximately 1,400 students from across the state of Ohio will perform throughout the afternoon and evening in Woody Hayes Quaker Stadium. We will need numerous volunteers to help make this event a success.

Are you or someone you know interested in volunteering for this one-time event? We will be looking for volunteers to fill various jobs throughout the afternoon and evening. Some of those volunteer positions do not involve working with students, which would not require you to be a board approved volunteer. Opportunities include ticket sales, merchandise sales, parking, pie tent, concessions, and more! Reach out through email at quakerbandboosters@gmail.com or contact Rachel Montero (330-447-9443), 2026 Field Competition Volunteer Coordinator. A sign-up genius event registration code is coming soon!
