We are still looking for some key volunteers for 2024-2025!  Please consider serving! If you have any questions, please email nominations@unionbands.com.  Apply at unionbands.com/volunteer

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!)

Company donations or donation matching

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 have a lot of things coming up - take the time to check in with your employer and see if they are able to provide any donations or do donation matching? Many companies have money set aside for gifting to non-profits. This would be a tremendous help and keep our pockets from continuously being empty!

We can put together a donation sheet - an idea is to include shout outs in our Weekly Beats of the company that donates. We may even be able to put sponsors on our shirts. Ideas I will have to run by the board - but look for more information on that soon!

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!

Greetings Regiment families! Our biggest fundraiser of the year is about to start and we are excited to share with you the link for the signupgenius.

 But first a few must dos:

  2. All Adults MUST have a alcohol license. The information for the course and licensing is also located in the general information section for fundraising on the band website. The license is good for 2 years.

  3. Please review all the guidelines listed under the OneOkField volunteer information regarding policies and procedures, dress code and parking requirements.

We look forward to a great season of volunteering for Drillers and the FC Tulsa Soccer Teams.

Flowers will be delivered Tuesday April 2nd at 4:30. I will need help unloading. If you help unload you get to take your flowers home first!

We will unload at the far end of the band building and have flowers by the visitor side of the satdium. Please let me know if you can come help!

Props Team Recruiting!
