We NEED your help with concessions.

Our concessions stands are a huge help for UBPC revenue and we need to keep them staffed and running efficiently.

Almost anyone can work and earn money towards a band student’s balance.

Ask people to come volunteer their time for an evening and help pay down your student’s balance instead of donating money.

Not only does it help your student, but it helps our program.

And PLEASE, if you sign up, SHOW UP! We count on you!

Do you have a 7th or 8th grade student?


 

Props Team NEEDS your help!!!!!!!

This team has worked tirelessly constructing these incredible works of art of the show this season.

We don’t have much time before the Owasso Invitational, and we need all the help we can get to add the final touches, which involves covering them with fabric - much easier!

If you can help, sign up below or send an email to:

propertymanager@unionbands.com


Want to come watch the performance and help with props? We need about 10 individuals per game to assist.

Your duties will unload/assembly/disassembly/load from parking lot to the field.

A huge perk is a great view of the performance!

Email propertymanager@unionbands.com for details.

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!
