Volunteering at Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek as part of the WJHS BPA crew is a fun and rewarding way to support the Band Program while spending time with other band families. Volunteers have the opportunity to experience the excitement of live concerts, meet parents from other organizations who are also working to support their students, learn the fast-paced environment of a concession and catering facility, and enjoy the camaraderie that comes with working events together.

​

Working at Walnut Creek is one of the Band Program’s valuable fundraising opportunities and helps bring in thousands of dollars each year to support the program. Funds earned through volunteering can also help offset a student’s Individual Earnings (IE) account responsibilities, reducing out-of-pocket costs for participating families.

​

The WJHS BPA is contracted with Walnut Creek to operate a concession stand during concerts and other large events throughout the season. In order to maintain this partnership and continue providing these fundraising opportunities, it is important that we fulfill our staffing commitments for each event.

​

Please note: Volunteers must be at least 16 years old to participate.

​

Scheduling

 

Volunteer scheduling for Walnut Creek events is completed through an online scheduling system. The WJHS Walnut Creek Calendar is available at:

Under the Walnut Creek tab, volunteers can create an account, view available events, and sign up for shifts. Dates with available events will appear in bold. Simply select the desired date and choose an available time slot.

Creating an account is important to ensure volunteer hours are properly tracked.

​

Teenagers are not permitted to handle or serve alcohol at any time or for any reason.

 

Uniform Requirements

More Than Just Fundraising

​

Walnut Creek events are not only a great fundraising opportunity — they are also a great way to build friendships and connections within the Band Program community. Many parents enjoy the teamwork, fast-paced environment, and shared experiences that come with volunteering together. It often feels like stepping back into a first job atmosphere, all while helping support students and the Band Program.
