8th Grade Band students who are interested in helping with the Avon Lake High School Marching Shoremen are selected to participate as Band Helpers. Students will be incorporated into the marching band as equipment carriers and helpers for the Marching Shoremen. This is also a terrific opportunity to experience what is to come for them once they enter high school.  Selections are done during the spring of the previous school year and are based on the number of positions to available, each student’s progress and participation in band, as well as their attitude in and outside of band and other factors that may affect their ability to participate in the Band Helpers.
