VOLUNTEER

Do you have some spare time and an occasional desire to get out of the house? The Argyle Music Association is always up to something and you could get up to some of it too. We have several volunteer positions to fill each year.

Cabaret 2023 Volunteers and Teachers

Some of the parent volunteers with the amazing teachers who made Cabaret 2023 great

AMA President

The President of the Argyle Music Association has the responsibility to run the meetings, help set the agenda, sign cheques, help with the budget, pays bills  and so on.

Secretary

Throughout the school year there are several AMA committee meetings that need to be documented. The secretary is responsible for taking notes and sharing them after each meeting.

Fund Raising Coordinator

We have several fund raisers throughout the year that allow students to raise money to go towards the fantastic music trips. The fund raising coordinator sets up each fund raiser through various web site (eg. Purdy’s chocolates) and manages the allocation of money raised for each student. As well, the coordinators organizes the volunteers who will help distribute the items on the pick up dates.

Treasurer

OK, this one actually is a big job. An accounting background will be helpful. A sense of humor seems to seems to be part of the practice. Click on the “treasurer” link to see a brilliantly detailed description. ( Thanks Dave! )

Cabaret Coordinator

Cabaret is the biggest fund raising event of the year for the Argyle Music Association. The Cabaret Coordinator will run several meetings throughout the school year to organize all of the jobs that need to be done.

Cabaret Volunteer Positions

There are many jobs available to help run Cabaret such as:

  • volunteer coordinator (coordinates the volunteers that help during the event)
  • silent auction
  • food coordinator
  • bar
  • decorating committee
  • sound and lighting
  • program printer

Web Master

We need someone to maintain this very website. The site runs on WordPress so the actual website part is pretty straight forward. Each time the teachers send out an email communication, the Web Master can post it to this site.  All the events for the music programs will be posted and updates will be made to the fund raising page as the deadlines are announced.

The web master also sets up the ticket sales site in EventBrite for Cabaret, manages the seating charts and works with the treasurer to get the final seating lists for the event.

AMA Volunteers & Vacancies

If you are able to help with any of these jobs, please send an email to icanhelp@argylemusic.ca .

Please let us know if you are able to help out in any of the above capacities.  Even if you do not have a child performing in the concert, please consider coming along to help out.  You will meet and work with a group of people who are eager to pass along their knowledge. You will get to do things for your kids without having to do things with your kids. Also, we get to taste the wine selections for Cabaret.
