The Gwinnett Arena opened on February 16, 2003.  It is the home of the Gwinnett Gladiators (the minor league hockey team for the Atlanta Thrashers).   The arena hosts many concerts and other events such as Stars on Ice and American Idol.  

The Parkview Band Boosters Association Inc., has contracted with Proof of the Pudding to provide volunteers for concession stands and a beer cart at the Gwinnett Arena.
   
EFFECTIVE December 1, 2008 we will be using a flat-rate of $25 for each worker ($30 for Lead worker) that participates in Arena events.  This amount is credited to the student's band account for each worker (parent, students, relatives or friends) that work on behalf of that student.  Please see the band handbook for detailed information regarding your student's band account.

• Close to Home (Sugarloaf Pkwy and I-85)

• Parking is FREE

• Most events take only a 5-6 hour commitment
