What We Do

    The Newport Band Parents Association (NBPA) enriches our students’ band experience in many ways…

    • We provide information to parents
    • We encourage parent involvement with the band program
    • We plan and host special events
    • We coordinate volunteers
    • We support the Newport High School Band staff
    • We provide a forum for new ideas
    • We raise and administer funds to support band opportunities and supplement the equipment budget, allowing us to buy and repair instruments for the students and to provide need-based student financial assistance for various events
