Event Information – Celebration of Schools featuring the Metro Marching Classic
The Metro Marching Classic serves as a showcase event where all the marching bands from Nashville's Metro Schools district come together to perform. This creates a unique opportunity for students, families, and the community to see performances from multiple schools in one venue.
Volunteer Assignments - Volunteers will be stationed in multiple locations through the stadium to help our high school band members.
We will use volunteers to help students on and off the field, manage the instrument storage area, move students down the field for pictures or for the video cameras to capture them, hand off school banners, give parking directions, deliver food to the students, and help students know where the closest restrooms are.
