For a game schedule, see the Charms Calendar (Questions #3 below: choose Calendar) (Note: Call time does NOT depend on the weather, so be in the stand at call time) 2) How many people are needed? To run 1 stand we need a minimum of 1 Cook (adult), 5 Adults, 3-4 Students. To run an additional stand we need people on STANDBY so we can tell the Knights we will take additional stand(s). Some stands require the same as above, but some can be run with a minimum of 2, so SIGN UP! The more stands we run, the more money is earned & can be put into student accounts. Typically we are there about 5 hours. 3) How to sign up to work games? Charms - The system we use to store Student/Booster information.   New account or need password?

Send an email to Steve & Amy (see previous) with details & we will put you on the special call list.

Workers are paid in BCP's (Band Credit Points). We keep a list of each person who works each game & what student account they want to get credit. The Knights pay us a percentage of sales & send a check to the Booster Club every so often. We apply that to Student Accounts per the list. We have typically paid a flat rate of $25/person per day worked. Tip money belongs to the Boosters & not the individual & is used to pay BCP's or goes into the Booster Club General Account. 8) Who is on the Knights committee?
