Double Angel

If you have not had the opportunity work at one of biggest, best and most exciting venues around, this is your chance!  We/Boosters are in need of lots of help this week and throughout the summer at the Double Angel (DA) Baseball field concession stand.

The (DA) baseball field concession stand is run exclusively by the Legend Band Boosters/Parents , thus we are responsible for servicing all events held at the stadium.

Working concessions at (DA) is a great way to earn parent points and meet other parents and students in the program.

If you can help or need additional info, please contact Dianne Morgan at rdcmorgan2@gmail.com
