Seat Covers – Rhiana Potase
Place seat covers on the bleacher seats prior to the band's arrival at football games, then wipe down, remove and pack the seat covers after the band leaves the stands.

Plumes – Jill Laird
Place plumes ("feathers") in student hats prior to half-time performances, and remove them afterward. You follow the band to warm up (mid-2nd quarter) and return after halftime. These volunteers are also responsible for picking up music/lyres from the sidelines after the band plays for the Diamond Dancers.
