Be a Parkway West Band Roadie!
The equipment needed for the Pit (percussion) and Color Guard during Marching Band season requires a lot of help in setting up and positioning. Props and set pieces are also built for each year's show. Just getting all the equipment to the field and back is a major effort. Students do a great deal of this themselves, but it does require a crew of parents that can be depended upon for each performance. These Roadies also transport the equipment when the band travels. If you are skilled mechanically, have any construction skills, or just want to help, the Roadies are always looking for a "few good parents."
