The Newark Band Parents Club is the parent organization that supports the band program and all of its activities. Over the course of the year, the band parents club raise money to offset costs after students have paid their fees. While fundraising is the booster's primary concern, the organization has a huge role in supporting the students of the band program in many other ways. From chaperoning trips, to transporting students and instruments, cooking food to managing events, the band parents are invaluable to the success of the students in the band.
Monthly meetings of the Newark Band Parents Club are typically the second Monday of each month at 7:00pm in the NHS Band Room. Parents of ALL levels of the band program (including middle school) are welcome and encouraged to attend.
