First and foremost, thank you for your interest
in supporting Pioneer! Pioneer relies on many people to operate and support
the corps year round. Volunteers are needed at all Pioneer functions
throughout the year, both during winter camps and summer tour. In addition,
volunteers are also need during the week in the Milwaukee area to run our
weekly bingo sessions. Whatever your strength, we're sure that there is a
way that you can help out the corps! The following is a sampling of the
volunteer positions that are available within Pioneer.
Transportation
If you have your Commercial Driver's License, or are interested in obtaining
a CDL, we can use your help driving the corps' vehicles. We need drivers for
two tractor truck/semitrailers, three MCI coach busses, and any other
support vehicles that may be on tour with us. If you do not have a CDL, the
corps can assist you in obtaining one.
Food Program
The corps provides members with approximately 80% of their meals while on
tour and during winter camps. These meals are prepared by a dedicated crew
of "cooks". Working out of semitrailer converted into a fully equipped
kitchen, the crew prepares 3-4 meals a day for the corps!
Uniform Department
The corps depends on crew of people handy with a needle and thread to fit
the corps member's uniforms and to keep them looking sharp throughout the
season. In addition to the annual preseason uniform fitting, the member's
uniforms are also altered on the road as the members slim down. In addition,
there's always those emergency repairs!
The "Handyman" Department
If you're handy with tools, the corps can definitely use your help! The
rigors of tour often lead to emergency repairs of the corps' equipment.
Whether it be a burned out clearance lamp on a bus, a loose wheel on a
marimba, or a broken shelf on the cook truck... it needs to be fixed!
Bingo Helpers
Pioneer Bingo makes up a large percentage of the corps' budget. It takes
many people to make these bingo sessions run. Whether you can help once a
week or once a month, we can use your help!
If wish to help out in one of the above areas, or have any other ideas on
how you may be of help to the Pioneer, please click on the link at right and

contact you to further discuss your contribution to the corps!
Once again, thank you for your support!
