Renegade Regiment Volunteer Signup

(Section Parents and Chaperones, too!)

We want to be our best, and to do that, we have to support our program with the best volunteer effort.  Your directors, staff, and UPBC officers work tirelessly to enable and elevate and we will find a way that you can contribute your gifts, talents and efforts to our students' success. You have something to give, and we can use all the help we can get.

Our volunteer interest survey is a great way to connect to the needs we have.  We love for people to raise their hand and step forward to be part of something bigger than themselves.  None of these volunteer tasks are accomplished alone, we expect to help each other do this as a team, and everyone is supported, guided, and backed up by other experienced volunteers and UPBC Board Members.  We love new people! 

Please fill out our volunteer interest survey at this link and consider how you can help. Click here to submit

Two immediate needs we want to address are Section Parents and Chaperones for the upcoming year.  Descriptions for these roles are shown on the survey, and if you have any questions, please let us know. Section Parent applications are due June 30, because we want to go into our summer rehearsals ready, so please sign up now! 

Please consider investing your time as a volunteer, and let us know if you have any questions.  And thank you for everything you do for the Union Bands program.
