The Band Parents Association exists to support the directors, students, and band program. Any parent who has a student in the band is a voting member of the Association. The ‘support’ for the program is offered in a variety of ways. You might volunteer to be a bus sponsor, chair a fundraising event, or even become an Officer. Parents can log into Charms and select any of these in the interest sections of the parent’s tab.

Many (not all) of the opportunities are listed below. The opportunities listed with an asterisk (*) require a chairperson. In order to spread the volunteerism between student grade levels, a suggested class may be listed next to the activity. $$-indicates student account fundraiser.
