Volunteers

WSCO is in operation only because of the generous support of many volunteers. Every musician and/or parent is expected to help where they are able! Parents or families of students please plan to help with at least one concert or event during the year. Your donated time is appreciated, and necessary to keep WSCO going. 

 

Parents/Guardians

• Review the Musicians' Code of Conduct with your student/child.

• Agree to participate in at least 1 hour of volunteer service for WSCO during the fall season.

• Agree to participate in at least 1 hour of volunteer service for WSCO during the spring season.
