Band Banquet June 1
The 2012 Band Banquet will be Friday, June 1 at the Knights of
Columbus on Klockner Road, from 6 to 10 pm. We'll have a buffet
dinner, a DJ and music, and awards.
Cost is $10 for Band and Band Front members and $32 for parents and
guardians. NMUPA will subsidize part of each student's cost, but if
a student registers and sends in their $10 fee but does not show up,
the student will be responsible for the full $32 cost.
Please return the registration form
by May 20 with your payment if you'll be attending, or just the form
indicating that you won't be attending.
Volunteer Hours
The last opportunity for hours being earned this year for seniors only,
was the pasta dinner, as the paperwork, etc. had to be in to Guidance and
the students before the year is over to be in time for the awards night.
All other grade levels still have opportunities to earn hours this year,
through the end of the school year. The new year begins with Band Camp in
August.
Volunteer hours are not cumulative. A parent or guardian and their
student are each required to volunteer four hours each, for each
independent year in the unit. We thank you for any hours you volunteer
in excess of four in a given school year, but they don't carry over to the
next year.
The bylaws allow you to "make up" any shortage of hours only during the
student's second year of membership in the unit. The only people eligible
to make up time this year are students who were first-year members in
2010-2011 (and their parent or guardian), if they volunteered less than four
hours last year.
Similarly, the only people eligible to make up time next year are
students who are first-year members in 2011-2012 (and their parent or
guardian), if they volunteered less than four hours this year.
Make-up hours are in addition to the hours required for the
current year.
NMUPA Mailbox in the Band Room
Students, parents and guardians can drop off fundraiser
orders as well as membership and other NMUPA forms in the
NMUPA mailbox in the Band Room.
Please remember:
- The box is not checked daily
- We won't receive your items if your child doesn't remember to put
them in the box: double-check that they did drop off the items
- Fundraising orders must in the box by the end of the school day,
on the day that the order is due. The box will be checked on that date
after 9th period. If anything is dropped off after that, it won't make
it into the order
- Don't drop off any items with cash
