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:

UBPC - NEEDS YOUR HELP

While we are sad that May is quickly approaching and some of our parents will have students graduating, we are excited to be preparing for a busy year ahead for Renegade Regiment! If you are interested in serving our fabulous organization please consider submitting an application. You can go to unionbands.com/volunteer to submit application.

This organization can only support our students and the directors with everyone’s help. It takes many hands to fill all of the important roles that keep the band running and UBPC is looking for energetic volunteers to fill these positions. The UPBC’s main resource is YOU.

Do you have a hobby or skill you think could benefit the organization? Do you have a heart to help and serve? We are looking for volunteers to help serve on open board positions. Below are just a few of the areas we are looking for help:

  • Treasurer

  • Concessions

  • And Many More Areas

You will learn everything you need to serve in any position. Please reach out to the nominations committee to help serve.

Patches!

If you ordered a Patch Pack, you may pick them up after school after 4pm May 10th in the band hall or on the same day at the May parent meeting on Tuesday, May 10th or at the Band Banquet Monday, May 16th. I will also have show patches ($6) and Renegade Review ($6) patches for sale on both dates if you are interested.

Overwhelmed by the cost of being a part of one of the best band programs in the land? Look no further than our WONDERFUL fundraising opportunities at OneOk field! Union Bands help staff a concession stand at the Drillers and FC Tulsa events at OneOk field. When you volunteer, $45 per volunteer gets deposited directly in your student’s Charms account. When you bring your student and volunteer together, that’s $90 for just one event!

We have had so many families over the years take advantage of this unbelievable opportunity to raise plenty of money for their band account.  It is also a great way to raise money without having to sell anything to family and friends.  The first event is a week away, and we could really use your participation
