Band Parents Association
The A. C. Reynolds High School Band Parent Association, Inc.
(BPA) is comprised of a group of parent volunteers who have children enrolled in the school’s Concert or Symphonic Wind classes.
Our History:
In 1975 the school’s band parents incorporated under the name of A. C. Reynolds Band Aid Association, Inc. In 1992, the dissolution of that group was rolled over into the newly formed Reynolds Band Parents Association Inc. More recently, the 2011 band parents amended the 1992 incorporation and emerged as the A. C. Reynolds High School Band Parent Association, Inc. or just ACRHS BPA. No matter the corporation name, band parents have always been supportive of the musical talents their children have displayed during the past years and will continue their support as new students enroll and their parents become involved.
Our Mission:
The BPA exists as an incorporated organization to financially support and adapt to the changing educational needs of the entire high school band program and the objectives of its band director at A.C. Reynolds High School.
Our Purpose:
Organize fundraising to help the band director meet the financial needs and goals of the band program. We encourage parents to participate in any fundraisers.
Our Fundraising:
The BPA’s fundraising efforts produce products in support of the band program, which includes concert and symphonic bands, marching band, ensembles, and any needs at the discretion of the band director.
Spending The Raised Funds:
The BPA has a minimal operating budget to fund its own annual expenses. The greater percentage of our money funds the band program with the purchase of:
Sheet music
New instruments
Repairing of existing instruments
Instruction during marching band camp
Scholarships for students unable to afford entrance fees into auditions and clinics
Busing and drivers for events
Guest conductors during the school year
Band entry fees for competitions
Uniform maintenance for marching band including dry cleaning
Student hotel expenses for out of town band clinics
