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
