Sign up here to Volunteer
We need you and want you!
The band boosters have a history of tremendous family support. We welcome volunteer support throughout the entire program. It takes a huge amount of volunteers and a lot of money to run this program at a competitive level. However small or large the job may be, the spirit of teamwork is most important.
Chaperone after school practice, to help maintain the health of our fabulous marchers and watch thier progress from beginning to end. For questions, call Dalia Wyman 404.849.8939.
We need extra hands to run the Scrip program. You will only need to volunteer Tuesdays from approximately 5:15 to 7 pm with some super volunteers staying to around 8 pm to close out. We have a fun time meeting the parents in the air conditioned school! If you are looking for an opportunity to volunteer with band please consider Scrip. If we have enough volunteers we may be able to work rotating Tuesday shifts. If you are interested come and see us on Tuesday nights in the cafeteria 5:30 – 7pm or email scrip@harrisonbands.org or talk to Robin Revennaugh, Janet Randall, or Bobbilin Taneri.
Each week when our team of “washers” take uniforms home, we have to re-file them in their respective spots on the Z racks for the students. From time to time, repairs are also needed to the stirrups. We need your help to ensure that ALL uniforms are back and ready to be worn. If you can’t make it at the exact time, NO PROBLEM, just comment a time that you can commit to!
Mini-band camps are days of long practices and great progress! These are a great way to see amazing results while keeping the students safe. For questions, call Dalia Wyman 404.849.8939.

In 2006, the Harrison High School Band received the Sudler Flag of Honor. The Sudler Flag is an International Award recognizing High School Concert Bands of Outstanding Musical Excellence and a comprehensive band program. The Harrison Band program is one of less than 60 programs internationally to receive the honor from 1983-2006.
The purpose of the award is to identify, recognize and honor high school band programs internationally that have demonstrated particularly significant high standards of excellence in concert activities over a period of several years (minimum of seven years).
To be eligible, the band must have achieved and maintained a high standard of excellence in the concert area over a period of several years and present an archival documentation of the diversity and quality in performance achievement.
The concert band will have placed itself in situations where there has been opportunity for evaluation by qualified persons or has been rated “superior” at state, regional, or national levels in concert activities.
The band program must offer its participants a complete and balanced program of musical activities including concert, solo, ensemble, and marching areas.
The band should have performed at regional, state, national, and professional meetings of significance. These can include but are not limited to state music conventions, regional or national MENC meetings, and state or national band association conventions.
The director must have been incumbent in his/her position for at least seven years, including the current year. A number of the students in the band should have participated in district and all-state honor bands or similar all-area groups.
The Sudler Shield: an International Award Recognizing High School, Youth and International Marching Bands of World Class Excellence
