Busking Info

for Virginia Hills Safeway, Nob Hill Foods Martinez & Lunardi's Pleasant Hill

At College Park High School during the months of September & October, our Band & Orchestra students help raise money to fund our instrumental music program through busking at some of our local supermarkets. Below is information, guidlines and sign-ups for this year's busking dates. We need to fill ALL busking shifts! Students should sign-up with a friend and help out our program!

BUSKING GUIDELINES:

Sign-Up for a busking shift by clicking the Sign-Up Genius link below. Busking is much more enjoyable if you sign-up with a friend.
Wear your CP Instrumental Music t-shirt. This will help identify you as a band or orchestra student from College Park. As soon as community members see you playing your istrument in your CP music t-shirt, they are immediately more likley to support us by either buying some raffle tickets or simply making a donation.
Play literally ANYTHING. Just the fact that you, a high school student, is making an effort to support your own music program by playing some live music outside, shows that you are part of something very positive in the community. People that live in the area will see and hear you and it will leave an immediate and positive impression.
Just bring your instrument and any sheet music you need. CPIMB parents will also be helping to supervise every busking shift and will have music stands on hand for you to use.
Booster parents will handle the money. Our supervising booster parents will take care of this part of busking so that students only need to worry about playing!
Make it a fun and enjoyable experience! Again, if you sign-up with a friend, the whole experience can be really fun AND you'll get some valuable practice time in.
