Where does the membership money go?
The membership dollars go in to the UBPC general fund. This account is used to fund various expenses that we do not want to have to charge in regular student fees.
What do the UBPC members do?
UBPC members are mostly parents that want the best band experience for their students. The band parent/UBPC member experience is different for everyone, depending on the amount of time each person has available to commit. Generally speaking, members volunteer, attend UBPC meetings, fundraise, watch practices together, help with special events, travel with the band, chaperone on trips, provide hospitality for judges and other events, make friends with other parents and cheer on the band. UBPC members are there to answer questions (especially for 1st year marching students – yikes!) and support you when your student graduates (try not to think about it – it will be here before you know it!)
Some companies will match or donate if you volunteer! Don’t hesitate to ask! Some of our band parents have received hundreds of dollars in donations just by asking!
we need you!
We all have one thing in common: we love our students!
Check out our volunteer form - there are so many opportunities for you to get involved on any level!
Contact the volunteer coordinator with any ideas or questions!
