UNIFORM TURN IN:
Tuesday the 17th is the last band concert of the season! All HS band students will turn in their concert uniform following their performance. Student, please wear compression shorts (sliders) and an undershirt/cami and bring a change of clothes. Tuxedos will return the jacket, pants, cummerbund, bow tie, garment bag and hangers. Ladies will return the top, palazzo pants, garment bag and hangers.
We will need additional adult volunteers to help with this process. We will have two rotations, 1st hour students and 2nd hour students. If you can help with either rotation, please email me at uniforms@unionbands.com. You will not miss your student's concert. Just report to the band hall once your student has performed.
UBPC General Membership Meeting
Join us tomorrow evening, Tuesday, May 10 at 7:00 pm for our General Membership Meeting in Union High School Band Room 1. Come and hear some updates to the Competitive Marching Band Season for this upcoming year! We will also approve next year’s budget, as well as the slate of nominees for the Board of Directors. We will say a bittersweet farewell to our graduating parent volunteers. Finally, you will hear the riveting (our President tries to keep it short and entertaining) annual report of all of our accomplishments this past year. We welcome our incoming Freshmen parents to this meeting and look forward to getting to know you and getting you tied into our great organization!
High School Annual Band and Guard Awards Banquet: HELP NEEDED!
Please join us at 3:30 pm on Monday, May 16 to decorate and set up for our Annual Awards Banquet that evening. This is a great opportunity to visit with other parents as we make the PAC lobby special for our students. We celebrate their may accomplishments and look forward to this special event!
Fundraising Opportunity: UHS Graduation Concessions Workers Needed
Student accounts will be credited at the rate of $9/hour for this event. Students may choose to take service hour credit for hours worked by themselves instead of student account credit. Please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c084bacac22aafc1-tuttle89
UBPC - NEEDS YOUR HELP
While we are sad that May is quickly approaching and some of our parents will have students graduating, we are excited to be preparing for a busy year ahead for Renegade Regiment! If you are interested in serving our fabulous organization please consider submitting an application. You can go to unionbands.com/volunteer to submit application.
This organization can only support our students and the directors with everyone’s help. It takes many hands to fill all of the important roles that keep the band running and UBPC is looking for energetic volunteers to fill these positions. The UPBC’s main resource is YOU.
Do you have a hobby or skill you think could benefit the organization? Do you have a heart to help and serve? We are looking for volunteers to help serve on open board positions. Below are just a few of the areas we are looking for help:
Treasurer
Concessions
And Many More Areas
You will learn everything you need to serve in any position. Please reach out to the nominations committee to help serve.
ANTICIPATED FUNDRAISING AVAILABILITY:
All fundraising products available for checkout are out of stock for the rest of the school year.
Living Colors Flowers Delivery is set for May 19th at the High School. Exact time and location on campus will be communicated via the fundraising Remind.
Our final spring fundraiser has been canceled due to low participation in spring fundraising efforts. Fundraising will kick back up next fall to aid families in paying band fees!
*Due to rising shipping costs, our "Shop With Scrip'' cards will only be delivered through UBPC once per semester. We will continue to take orders for plastic gift cards through March, and then the next UBPC Delivery will be in the fall.
*You can always order "Shop With Scrip'' cards any time using the ship to home option or electronic gift cards.
*Sign up for our REMIND for monthly fundraiser money turn-in, chocolate and beef distribution, and fundraising product distribution information. Text @ubpc-fundr to 81010
*Chocolate and Beef sales money can always be turned into the money lock boxes in your student's band room.
*Where possible UBPC prefers ONE BIG CHECK.
Patches!
If you ordered a Patch Pack, you may pick them up after school after 4pm May 10th in the band hall or on the same day at the May parent meeting on Tuesday, May 10th or at the Band Banquet Monday, May 16th. I will also have show patches ($6) and Renegade Review ($6) patches for sale on both dates if you are interested.
Overwhelmed by the cost of being a part of one of the best band programs in the land? Look no further than our WONDERFUL fundraising opportunities at OneOk field! Union Bands help staff a concession stand at the Drillers and FC Tulsa events at OneOk field. When you volunteer, $45 per volunteer gets deposited directly in your student’s Charms account. When you bring your student and volunteer together, that’s $90 for just one event!
We have had so many families over the years take advantage of this unbelievable opportunity to raise plenty of money for their band account. It is also a great way to raise money without having to sell anything to family and friends. The first event is a week away, and we could really use your participation
