Second Show Shirt Order

PARENTS/FAMILY MEMBERS: did you forget to order a show shirt? Great news, you can still purchase one and receive it in time to go to Indy Super Regionals in a few weeks! Order here before October 12 at midnight (that is a hard deadline): https://ubshowshirt2022.itemorder.com/

STUDENTS: did you get the wrong size? Email president@unionbands.com before October 12 at midnight to get this corrected. Thanks!


Top nine reasons to volunteer at this event:

  1. Volunteering is fun and you get to meet other band parents and band students (A.K.A. the coolest kids ever)

  2. This event helps keep your student's fees down, so volunteering today helps you tomorrow!  (Senior parents, think of it as giving back).

  3. By working just one shift, you can enter the competition for FREE and see some amazing marching bands perform, including the RENEGADE REGIMENT!  

  4. By working more than one shift, we will feed you!

  5. Avoid Saturday traffic on 71st by getting to the school early and staying late to help!

  6. If you need to earn student account credit, you can work in concessions.

  7. If you need to earn student account credit, you can work in the merchandise booth (adults only, must be able to work 2 consecutive shifts)

  8. We are asking so nicely.  Pretty please!

  9. If the other eight reasons haven't convinced you, #9 isn't going to either.     

Renegade Review is tomorrow! 

We need you (all of you) to volunteer (it's really a pretty low expectation for each family to commit to one shift for the whole day, so thanks in advance for helping out).
