Volunteer Opportunities @
Johnson High School

Live near Johnson High School? We have MANY opportunities for volunteers this 2025-26 school year!

If you don’t have any time to offer but want to support our program - we’re featured on the "Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation” Adopt-A-School campaign. Once this is fully funded we will receive about 12k in brand new instrument (which we desperately need)! https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/aas-johnson-high-music
Seeking wind/string/percussion players to sit in with my students in our Pit Orchestra for Annie Jr. this Spring! I would love one musician on each instrument to double with my students so they have someone solid to rely on for the show.
Organizing sheet music used throughout the year (this is great if you want to volunteer but don’t want to interact with anybody)
Instrumentalists to sit in with student sections during band/orchestra classes during a school day - allowing my students to play with musicians of higher caliber.
Providing instrumental lessons for students during the school day.
Do you have skills doing small repairs? Ex: fixing wiring in a faulty electric guitar/amp/etc. These are the little price tags that really add up and take away from our instrument repair budget.
If you have any theatrical skills - we’d love your help for Annie Jr.! Especially concerning - set design/woodworking/costuming/sewing/acting/
etc.

If you’re interested in any of these volunteer opportunities or have anything else you’d like to help with, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
