Another part of the Alumni Association's mission is to provide support for the Buccaneers. This support takes many forms, from financial to logistical to emotional and moral support. Some alumni accompany the Buccaneers on the road, doing whatever they can to help. This may include such tasks as lining practice fields, maintaining ice water supplies, feeding the troops, etc. Others assist by providing their time, wisdom and experience as members of special projects commitees, such as concert and contest promotion and fund raising. Whatever support is provided by the members of the Alumni Association to the Bucaneers is entirely voluntary and at the sole discretion of the individual members. |
