LETTER JACKETS!

** DATE CHANGE**

If you wish to order a letter jacket this season,  you have ONE MORE CHANCE to do so! The letter jackets are $180 base cost and can increase slightly by alterations needed, additional instruments or extended sizing.  This is the LAST DATE fittings will occur this school year in order to assure you have your jackets in hand to wear by the time it gets cold next semester.  

I will be in the new uniform room in the new band building after rehearsal is dismissed on TUESDAY, September 6th.  You will be able to try on jacket sizers, fill out your order form and payment is due at the time of placing your order.  Cash (exact change please), checks or cards are accepted.  If you have any questions, please email Merchandise@unionbands.com.


World's Finest Chocolate is available for checkout! We anticipate the on-line order form for in class pickup to be available soon. In the meantime, you can stop by the High School Band Room 3 (Formerly Band Room 1) to check out in person TOMORROW (Tuesday from 8:00pm to 8:30).

UBPC is requesting payment for all previous checked out boxes before checking out any additional boxes. In addition, each student can only check out 1 box.

QT cards are available!

Sign up for the Fundraising REMIND for monthly fundraiser information, money turn-in dates, product distribution dates & locations, and chocolate distribution dates. Text @ubpc-fundr to 81010

STUDENT ACCOUNTS ARE DUE

Renegade Regiment fees are currently due. Please log into your student’s CHARMS account to ensure your June, July and August fees are paid and your account is current. The next payment is due by September 15th. Have questions? Visit

DRILLERS OPPORTUNITIES

There are still wonderful fundraising opportunities at OneOk Field this summer for your band account!  There are plenty of Drillers and FC Tulsa games remaining on the schedule this season.  If you volunteer to work at one of the concession stands, you will make money for your Charms account.  The Drillers will pay you $45 PER VOLUNTEER for every game you work.  This is easy money and a great way to raise funds without the pressure of selling something to your friends or family.

 

Plus if transportation is an issue, we now have the ability to coordinate a bus if enough volunteers need a ride to OneOk Field!  Click the link below for more information:

VOLUNTEER TO BE A SECTION PARENT

The Section Parent Coordinator organizes the efforts of the parents within their student's section to support the section by assisting in uniform dressing before each game and competition, preparing a comfortable place for them to rest and bond in our competition tent cities (with shade tents, chairs, drinks, etc.), encouraging bonding activities outside of the regular schedule, encouraging communications within the parent group, and generally supporting the efforts of the staff, UBPC, and the student leadership in making the section a positive environment and a success.

Food Allergies/Dietary Restrictions

Meal plans are being set for the first football game, and we want to make sure that everyone has safe food to eat!
Questions? Please contact Katie Geier at foodallergies@unionbands.com

It is our desire to take great care of our Union Bands members at all times, and we want to make sure there is safe food to eat at every snack and meal with us. In order for us to accommodate a food allergy or dietary restriction of any kind (this includes vegetarians/vegans, and those who follow religious guidelines regarding food, but should not be used for foods that are simply disliked) you MUST UPDATE CHARMS TO LET US KNOW. If you have not indicated any special dietary needs in CHARMS, we have no way of knowing and will not have alternative foods at snack/mealtime. This is incredibly important, especially when we are traveling.

 

*For a peanut allergy, please indicate in CHARMS if meals from Chick-fil-A can be eaten or not. Chick-fil-A uses peanut oil in their fryers.

For example, FOOD ALLERGIES: All Tree Nuts/Peanuts, cannot eat CFA.

 

To update information in CHARMS, log in to your/your student’s account. From the HOME page, click on the icon that says UPDATE INFO. Once on the STUDENT INFO page, fill in the box next to FOOD ALLERGIES. Be sure to click the green UPDATE button at the bottom of the page when you are finished.

 

If there is a food allergy situation that requires special attention, please feel free to contact Katie Geier, UBPC Food Allergy Coordinator, at foodallergies@unionbands.com to discuss your concerns.

Build your band account balance this month through Drillers, "Raise Right" (formerly "Shop for Scripts"), work at Palen, and Tuttle Concessions! Get ready for our fall sales fundraisers coming soon! We plan to offer Blue and Gold, QT Fundraising cards, and Texas Roadhouse Rolls. Chocolate is anticipated to be available after the start of school this fall. https://www.unionbands.com/currentfundraisers
