Dome & Twins Concessions
Working the concession stands at Twins Games is an important fundraising opportunity for the Band Boosters and also for the students’ individual band accounts. The Band Boosters’ budget helps pay for many band expenses and helps make it possible to have quality school Band and Marching Band programs.
How Does It Work?
-
• Several dates are chosen throughout the year for sports and special events.
-
• Boosters and students take the required CORE training provided by the facility to assure proper training. Once CORE Training is completed, Boosters and students choose what dates they want to work from those available as posted here and e-mailing the fundraising coordinator at domefundraising@pcbands.org.
-
• Time commitment is about 7 or 8 hours depending on the event. We generally have a hot dog stand, but could be placed in a hamburger or ice cream stand.
-
• Once you have signed up for a date, you will be e-mailed approximately 2 weeks prior to the event to confirm your availability. It is very important that you only sign up for dates you know you are available, and keep your commitment. We make a commitment to the facility based on the number of adults signed up and it is important that we keep our word to keep in good standing.
-
• Once you have confirmed (two weeks before the event) that you are still available it will be your responsibility to find a replacement (who is CORE trained) for any last minute cancellations. If you are unable to find a replacement, your student’s account will be charged the $20 no-show fee that the facility charges the Band Boosters for last minute cancellations.
Who Can Work?
We need twice as many parents as students to sign up to work. Students must be at least 16 to work the Dome.
Parents will run cash registers, which includes selling (checking IDs) and serving alcohol. Students will act as runners and assemble hot dogs, retrieve popcorn, etc. We need anywhere from 6 – 12 parents and 3-6 students for each event. All workers are required to take the Dome’s CORE training before working at the Dome. CORE training dates are posted on the www.pcbands.org website. You will need to register with the Dome fundraising coordinator (domefundraising@pcbands.org) to attend CORE training.
What Do We Earn and Where Does the Money Go?
-
• Each person working earns approximately $60.
-
• For each parent or other adult working, 50% of their earnings will go to their student’s individual band account. The other 50% will go to the Band Boosters’ income budget.
-
• For each student working, $10 of their earnings will be deposited to the Band Boosters and the remainder will go into their individual band account.
We recognize that it is very tempting to only sign up your student, as a larger percentage of their earnings go into their account. However, if we cannot provide enough adults, we will lose our stand for the night, and therefore, lose placement of all workers, including the students.
Points to Keep in Mind/Questions?
-
• We are currently looking for parents who are interested in being trained to work the Dome as managers. These positions have additional duties and are paid at a higher rate, with a higher percentage going into their student’s account. Contact the Dome fundraising coordinator for more information.
-
• You and/or your student are never “guaranteed” a position for an event. Unfortunately the Dome requires us to be very flexible without providing the same flexibility back to us. They can drop workers up until 48 hours before game time. In addition, the dome fundraising committee is committed to making this fundraiser as equitable as possible for everyone involved.
-
• 95% of the Dome fundraising communication is done by e-mail. If you sign up for games for you or your student, we are assuming you will be checking your e-mail every few days for updates or confirmations regarding games and workers. This fundraiser is too big to handle via phone calls, and the e-mail system ensures clear communication with everyone involved.
