Student and Parent Volunteer Forms

Students and parents need to volunteer each year the student is in the Marching Unit in order for the student to be considered for a scholarship as a senior. Besides, volunteering helps the unit and it's fun. Here are the student volunteer form and the parent volunteer form that list your volunteer opportunities.

Membership is Due

Membership for the 2010 - 2011 year is due now. Membership is still just $7.50 per parent or guardian, and $5 for alumni, parent alumni and grandparents. Your membership supports the unit, helps pay for the Band Camp Family Picnic in August, and entitles you to free admission to all non-playoff home football games!

Membership is also required of at least one parent or guardian for each student for each year that student is in the unit, in order to be eligible to apply for a scholarship during their senior year.

If you haven't already joined for this year, download the form, fill it out and return it with your payment.

Committees!

Our committees are integral to NMUPA and have a lot of fun too, without demanding a lot of your time. Our committees are described on our organization page.

Thanks to everyone who's already signed up for committees. If you haven't signed up yet, or would like to help with an additional committee, you can email Laurie at ljplmr@aol.com, or sign up at the August 9 meeting or at the Band Camp picnic on August 12.

Applebee's Flapjack Fundraiser

When: Saturday, September 18, 2010, from 8 am to 10 am

Where: Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar, 333 State Highway 33

Cost: $5.00 per person

Besides diners, we're also looking for volunteers, both adults and students. If you or your child (16 or older only, please) can assist, please email Stef at stefwnj@gmail.com.

Here's the flyer for more information, and you can post it to let people know about the event.

Only 300 tickets will be available. To purchase tickets contact Stef (stefwnj@gmail.com or 890-0759).

The Nottingham Marching Unit Parents Association (NMUPA) supports the Nottingham High School Northstar Marching Unit. The marching unit includes the band, drill team and color guard, and it performs at Nottingham varsity football games and in competitions, exhibitions, and Hamilton Township parades.

The Marching Unit Hall of Fame features student names painted on the walls of the music hall at Nottingham. You can have your student's name painted on a brick or block by filling out the Hall of Fame block order form. Small bricks cost $5.00, cinder blocks cost $20, and proceeds benefit the scholarship fund.

In addition to posting information here, we distribute notices via email. If you haven't been receiving these notices, we don't have your address - please send it to Laurie at ljplmr@aol.com and we'll add you to the list.
