Souvenir Program Committee

What do we do?

Three ways we serve on the Souvenir Program Committee (SPC)

Selling ads for the Program

As the committee name eludes to, we sell ads to be published in the Souvenir Program

Solicit donations

We request donations that go directly to the Education Fund to help fund scholarships and educational programs

Program distribution

We have a subcommittee that works directly with the FFA and 4-H clubs to facilitate their sales outside of NRG Stadium

Why are we the best committee?

There are a lot of committees involved in making the Show happen, but we feel the Souvenir Program Committee is the best because:

We don't work during* Rodeo
The only required meeting is your rookie orientation
You can do your volunteer work on your time (we don't work during* Rodeo)
You get about 5 months to do your volunteer work instead of just 3 weeks like most other committees
We have committee socials all year

*Exception to working during Rodeo are those individuals on the Distribution subcommittee, which is a very rewarding experience that is only available to Veterans on the committee.

NOTES:

If you’re trying to determine if you want to be a Life Member of Rodeo, you actually have through the end of the April following Rodeo to decide and take advantage of the dues you’ve already paid. ($50+450).

Unless you become a Life Member, the Rodeo Membership dues are annual dues.

To serve on any committee, you must first be a Member of Rodeo and many people join several committees after their first year.

Committee dues are annual dues and help us cover costs of many committee events and amenities including our year end banquet.

What Does a Badge Get You?

The Rodeo experience is VERY different when you have your badge

FREE ACCESS

You +1 can access the NRG grounds during WCBBQ (cook off) & Rodeo, with a few exceptions*

FREE PARKING

You get a “V-Tag/M-Tag” for volunteer parking lots and/or shuttle service (easily saves you $20/day!)

RECOGNITION

The gold badge signifies YOU are a successful volunteer (perfect conversation starter and opportunity to recruit)

Exceptions*: Cookoff tents require wristbands to access, Corral Clubs require a membership, Club Levels in stadium require Club Level tickets, Any special shows that HLSR deems ticket-only (i.e. George Strait/Garth Brooks)
