UCF Events:

As a group we have the opportunity to work at the UCF Arena to raise funds for your trip account. Normally these come to our attention very quickly and if you are on the e-mail list (subscribe here) you will be notified about them a few days before they occur. Some of the frequently asked questions are listed below. If you have other questions about these events you can contact Cherie Heckford at president@seminolehsband.org.

  1. Q: I this ALWAYS (unless otherwise stated) working in the concession stand (No walking up and down stairs)? A: Yes, always a concession stand unless advised otherwise.
  2. Q: Is this payment always $25 PER person working? A: Always $25 per person per event -- regardless of length of event.
  3. Q: Are there also tips involved and shared amongst the group? A: Tips are involved and are distributed among the STUDENT accounts of the people working. If a parent works and the student did not, that portion of tips would go into the student's trip account.
  4. Q: Can both a parent and their student work at the same event? A: In a lot of cases the answer is yes. However, if beer is being sold in the concession then the student must be 18 or older and that leaves out most students. The parent can still work the event without their student.
  5. Q: What is the required dress? A: At UCF in the arena it is black pants, black shoes, and a black visor. We have the visors. During football season, it will change to t-shirts (which we have) and visors. Pants become khaki.
  6. Q: Will you need to know how to count out change or run the register? A: Not everyone works the cash register. If someone has a challenge with this, DO NOT volunteer to work the register.
  7. Q: Is there heavy lifting involved (cases of food, soda, or beer)? A: Some moderately heavy lifting -- we usually have a man or two who is capable and if not there are staff members who can help us.
  8. Q: Will you be on your feet with no opportunity to sit for long periods of time? A: If the event is a long one, we make sure everyone gets a quick break to rest their backs. Depends on the event and how busy we are as to whether smoke breaks are available. We try to work it out for everyone.
  9. Q: Do you have to pay for parking? Is there special parking for workers? A: UCF provides free parking.

Cherie will get an e-mail from UCF asking for us to work an event. She sends out an immediate e-mail asking for volunteers. First responders work. If we have the same people consistently responding first, she will change it up so everyone gets a chance.

We are working to acquire work at the Amway Arena. If we contract with them and they put us on the schedule we will let everyone know.

General Information:

Why do we need to fundraise and how is the money used?

The band program spends money throughout the year --

The school gives us a certain amount every year but we typically need to raise an additional $55,000 per year to cover the Band's expenses. To pay these bills, the Band Parent Association raises funds throughout the year -- e.g.
