Is your student interested in band or orchestra?
Participating in a music program enhances your child's learning, vocabulary, and reading skills, leading to academic success and higher GPAs. Band members have higher graduation and attendance rates, better brain development, fewer disciplinary issues, and strong social skills. They also make healthier lifestyle choices with lower rates of substance use.


What you can do as a parent: 

• Getting involved in the band program will give you the opportunity to share with your child the last four years of their education.  
• BOPA members are needed to support the director, and help with the details of fundraising, transporting, feeding and watering an organization of this size. 
  
• Grandparents, siblings, or any member of your family can get involved and make a difference. 
• ​Come to BOPA meetings, join the Band App, and sign-up to volunteer. It is a great way to meet the parents and the kids your student will be spending much of their time with for the next few months and years.  We’re a friendly bunch and many hands make light work.
