Mason Invitational: Sign-ups Live in Charms!

The Mason Band Invitational is Saturday, October 21st, and we need your help!

Our Invitational reputation precedes us, as bands love coming to our facility because we run a very organized event, and visitors feel welcomed and well taken care of...we need all hands on deck in order to make this happen! We are looking forward to another successful Invitational!

There is major setup/prep before any of the bands arrive on Saturday, so you will see shifts starting as early as 6:30 am in some areas. Shifts continue throughout the day, ending with cleanup at the end of the evening, which starts right after the second awards ceremony.

Please sign up for your shift in Charms: https://www.charmsoffice.com/charms/login.asp
